Fireplace
Fireplace is a macOS utility app that displays a simulated fireplace on your Mac screen. It typically offers various fireplace visuals including crackling fire animations, warm lighting effects, and ambient sound to create a cosy, relaxing atmosphere. Users run it as a screensaver replacement or background app during work or leisure time for aesthetic ambiance and stress relief.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find reliable information about whether Fireplace has a native Apple Silicon build. The app's developer presence appears minimal in public search results, making it difficult to confirm current maintenance status or architecture support. Contact the developer directly at the bundle ID domain (jesselauro.com or similar) to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is available or planned. This is important because Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28, scheduled for September 2028 — just over two years away — and an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. If the developer is no longer actively maintaining Fireplace, consider alternatives like Aerial (a free, open-source macOS screensaver that displays Apple TV aerial footage and runs natively on Apple Silicon) or the built-in macOS screensavers, both of which will continue working after Rosetta 2 is removed.
