While all the base macOS apps can run natively on M1 chips, many popular third-party apps are still only available for the Intel architecture. With the release of the M1 chip and Mac models powered by its variations, all macOS apps developed for Intel Macs needed to be updated to run natively on M1 Macs. Since Apple used to develop only Intel-based Macs up until a couple of years ago, all macOS apps were developed to be compatible with the Intel CPU architecture. Once Rosetta is installed on the M1 Mac, it works automatically whenever an Intel-based macOS app is opened.Īlthough Intel and M1 Macs both use the same macOS system, the Intel CPUs and the M1 chips have different architecture, which prevents apps developed for one type of processor to be run on a system powered by the other. Rosetta on Mac M1 is an emulation software developed by Apple which allows for Intel-based macOS apps to be run on Macs with M1 chips.
