1 suggestionWe could not confirm whether Notate has a native Apple Silicon build or its current development status — web search produced no clear results about the app or its vendor roadmap. If you rely on this app regularly, contact the developer at Shafer Systems directly to ask about native Apple Silicon support. With Apple removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027), it is important to establish whether a native build exists or is planned. If the developer is no longer active or has no native build in the works, you may want to begin exploring native alternatives like Apple Notes, Bear, Obsidian, or Notion, all of which run natively on Apple Silicon and offer more modern feature sets.
