Neon
Neon is a developer tool built on Electron that provides functionality related to code editing or development workflows. The bundle ID and search results suggest it is a lightweight editor or IDE-adjacent application targeting developers. Neon ships as an Intel-only Electron application and is distributed via a macOS installer.

1 suggestionThe search results indicate Neon (v2.14.2) is currently distributed as an Intel-only (x86) build with no native Apple Silicon version yet reported. Because Neon is built on Electron, a native Apple Silicon version would require both the Electron framework and Neon's own application code to be compiled for arm64. Check the official Neon download page or GitHub repository for any recent announcements about native Apple Silicon support. If the developer has added native support since October 2022 (when the search data was last indexed), a re-download from the official source may provide the native build automatically. If no native version is available yet, the app continues to work under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so the application will stop launching on that release unless a native build is released beforehand. Contact the developer directly to ask about Apple Silicon support plans and a target timeline — given that September 2028 is roughly two years away, there is still time for the vendor to ship a native version if they intend to.
