4D
4D is a low-code rapid application development (RAD) platform from 4D SAS that combines an integrated development environment, relational database engine, and runtime framework. Developers use 4D to build desktop and web applications, with support for SQL, object-oriented programming, and built-in business logic. It serves small to medium-sized businesses and independent developers who need to deploy custom applications quickly without managing separate database infrastructure. The platform includes a visual form designer, script editor, debugger, and deployment tools for both local and cloud hosting.

1 suggestionWe could not find public information confirming whether a native Apple Silicon build of 4D is currently available. Given that we are now mid-2026 and Apple will remove Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (late 2027), you have less than 18 months before Intel-only versions of 4D will no longer launch on Mac. Contact 4D SAS directly to ask about the status of native Apple Silicon support — specifically whether a native build is already available or planned before late 2027, and if so, when you should expect to upgrade. You can reach them through their main website (4d.com) or support channels. If native support is not on their roadmap, you will need to plan for either migrating your applications to another platform or upgrading your workflow before the Rosetta 2 deadline arrives.
