It provides detailed visibility into network connections, protocol analysis, and packet inspection capabilities for diagnosing network issues and monitoring network behaviour.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionNo information is publicly available about whether ncpTrace has a native Apple Silicon build. The lack of search results and limited web presence suggests this may be a niche or internal networking tool. If you depend on ncpTrace, contact the developer at ncp-e (the vendor prefix from the bundle ID) directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon version is planned before macOS 28 ships in late 2027, since the Intel-only build will stop launching when Apple removes Rosetta 2. In the meantime, check your vendor's official website or product documentation to see if a native build is already available but not widely advertised. If no native version exists or is planned, you will need to identify an alternative packet analysis tool — Wireshark, Charles Proxy, and tcpdump are actively maintained alternatives with native Apple Silicon support that cover similar use cases.
