YI Home
YI Home is a mobile and desktop companion app for YI-branded smart home security cameras and recording devices. It allows users to view live streams from their cameras, manage recordings, receive motion-detection alerts, and control camera settings like resolution, night vision and image quality. The app is designed for homeowners and small-business users who have invested in YI's ecosystem of wired or wireless security cameras and want to monitor their property remotely from a Mac.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build of YI Home exists — the search results returned no information about the app's architecture or development status. Given that YI Home is a companion app for consumer-level smart home devices, the developer may not have prioritized native Apple Silicon support or may have added it silently without announcement. If you rely on YI Home on your Mac, contact the vendor (YI Technology or its regional support) directly to ask whether a native build is available or planned. If the app is Intel-only and you want assurance it will continue working beyond macOS 28 (September 2028), when Apple removes Rosetta 2 support, confirming the vendor's roadmap is important. As an interim step, the Intel build still works under Rosetta 2 on current M-series Macs, so you have time to investigate alternatives or wait for a native update.
