About This App

Arq is backup software for macOS and Windows that encrypts and stores your files to cloud accounts (AWS S3, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud Storage, pCloud, Mega, and others), external drives, NAS devices, or SFTP servers. It uses filesystem snapshot technology to create point-in-time backups and maintains versioned file history so you can recover corrupted or deleted files. Arq is designed for users who want encrypted, end-to-end backup with strong privacy and no vendor lock-in. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

Arq has been shipping a native Apple Silicon build since version 7.x, and the community has confirmed it running natively on M-series Macs. The latest releases continue to be updated with native support — as recently as June 8, 2026, version 7.44.2 was released with bug fixes and improvements. To get the native build, download the latest version from arqbackup.com/download or the Mac App Store if you originally installed via the App Store. The installer automatically serves the Universal Binary on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, so a standard download and reinstall will give you the native version. After updating, your existing backup plans and recovery history carry over without any manual migration. You will see noticeable improvements in backup performance and battery life on your M-series Mac.
