AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of NetNewsWire has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Users still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version, which runs natively on M-series Macs with better performance and battery efficiency. The easiest way to update is through the App Store if you have the app installed from there, or download directly from netnewswire.com to get the latest native build. The app is free and open-source, so there are no licensing concerns with updating.
