The app is actively maintained—the developer released PureRef 2.0 in March 2024 with significant new features and improvements, indicating ongoing development. You should monitor the download page (https://www.pureref.com/download.php) for updates, as the developer Idyllic Pixel continues to support and enhance the product. For now, the Intel version will continue to run via Rosetta 2, but watch for a native update announcement from the developer.
