Applications
Applications is a reference utility for macOS that displays information about installed apps on your system. It typically shows metadata about applications including their names, versions, bundle identifiers, and architecture information (whether each app is Intel-only, Apple Silicon native, or Universal). The app is used by power users, system administrators, developers, and anyone needing to audit which applications on their Mac are optimized for Apple Silicon versus running under Rosetta 2 emulation.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build of Applications exists — the search results returned general educational content about building universal binaries and understanding macOS app architectures rather than specific information about this particular Applications utility. If you rely on this app, contact the developer at vladalexa.com or through the app's support channel to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned or already available. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), an Intel-only build will stop launching entirely on that release, so it is important to clarify the app's status with the vendor before that deadline. As an alternative, Apple's built-in System Information application (open it via Applications > Utilities) can display similar architecture information about your installed apps, including which ones are native, Universal, or Intel-only.
