AI Recommendation
1 suggestionMovie Magic Budgeting has already been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. As of version 10.34.7 (released July 16, 2026), the application is built as a universal binary supporting both ARM64 and x64 architectures. If you are running an older version under Rosetta 2, your next subscription renewal or software update will deliver the native build automatically through Entertainment Partners' update mechanism. No action is required on your part beyond keeping your subscription current — the native version will launch faster and consume less battery than the Intel build you may have today.
