Version 1.3 of Go64 is now available, adding some convenient controls for sorting through Intel vs Universal apps in addition to displaying which of your apps are 64-bit compatible (and which aren’t).

There’s also a new German localization, courtesy of Eberhard Woentz. Thanks Eberhard! 👋🏼 And a couple of bug fixes which may impact you if you use the contextual menus within Go64 or have backups of old iPhone apps laying around (I’m looking at you, Thomas Tempelmann). Thanks, Thomas, for bringing the problems to my attention.

The new version of Go64 is a universal app that natively supports both Intel and Apple Silicon powered Macs. It still scans all of your installed applications to tell you which ones are 32-bit, meaning that they won’t work on macOS Catalina or Big Sur. Go64 Go64 Showing Component of Final Cut is 32-bit. That’s pretty good info, but there’s a free app called Go64 from St. Clair Software gives you the same information but it gives you even more information. By default, Go64 scans your Mac for regular applications and presents it a bit nicer than System Information. The current version of Go64 is 1.3. It will run on any version of macOS from 10.10 (Yosemite) to 11.1 (Big Sur). For full list of changes in each release, see the Go64 Change History. For the real nit-pickers, here's a copy of the End User License Agreement.

I also changed the text in the UI to read “Not 64-bit ready” and “64-bit ready” rather than “32-bit” and “64-bit”. It better reflects the purpose of Go64, and also takes care of that gray area where really old stuff like PowerPC apps were being listed as “32-bit” – which wasn’t really technically true, but served the purpose of letting you know they wouldn’t run on Catalina or Big Sur.
