AI Recommendation
1 suggestionxVideoServiceThief has not been actively maintained for several years — the most recent update listed is version 2.5.2, released in May 2026, but this appears to be a routine metadata update; the actual last substantive release was version 2.5.1 in March 2017. There is no indication that a native Apple Silicon build has been released, and the open-source project does not appear to be under active development. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so this app will stop launching on that release unless a native update appears before then. If xVideoServiceThief is critical to your workflow, contact the project maintainers to ask whether native Apple Silicon support is planned. As alternatives, consider yt-dlp (a free, command-line video downloader that runs natively on Apple Silicon and supports a much broader range of sites), or Downie (a paid but actively maintained graphical video downloader with native Apple Silicon support). Both can handle most use cases that xVideoServiceThief covers.
