![]() iMazing is a standalone device management app for macOS, which reads your iOS device displaying the media and content stored on your devices in a straightforward computer operating system file directory style. The other day when I needed to pull some audio files from my iPad Voice Memo app across to my Mac,rather than go through the update hoops, I Googled to see if there was an alternative app and came across a solution. Of course there’s AirDrop but this never seems to work on my old Mac Pro 5,1 cheese-grater. I don’t know about you but I find iTunes awkward to navigate, which discourages me from using it… unless I absolutely have to. I seem to get update notices pop up saying iTunes or this device needs updating before I can access our media. Instead, we will typically plug our devices into our computer, which in most cases launches iTunes that we can use to locate and transfer the files, however, for me iTunes could be friendlier. You can of course email these files but this method takes time so not the obvious first choice. While it’s incredibly easy to capture those all important bursts of creativity it isn’t always quite so easy to get those files from your Apple iOS device across to your computer. It’s a quick and easy way to record those all important song ideas or sketches. And makes a variety of other useful apps too, you can check out all of the free software from them here.The Voice Memos app that comes free in Apple iOS devices is an extremely popular tool for many songwriters. Swiss developer DigiDNA makes iMazing which is a much more powerful iPhone, iPad, iPod manager than what’s available from Apple in Finder/iTunes. But Silicon offers a more polished UI for sure. You can see Universal or Intel compatibility in the About This Mac > System Report > Software > Applications section. Silicon lets you drag and drop individual apps to check for compatibility as well as checking your entire Applications folder at once. And you can check out the source code for the app (and also download it) on GitHub here. You can find the free download for Silicon on iMazing’s website here (4th app down). But if you want to check your own apps in a more seamless way, iMazing has made a free open source app to check for Apple Silicon M1 Mac compatibility called “Silicon.” While you can check individual apps for M1 support with the “Get Info” option, that’s a clunky way to check multiple apps (or all your apps). We’ve seen the above resources launch and they’re really useful. ![]() How to check M1 app compatibility for all of your Mac software Here are all of the games found to be compatible with M1 Macs so far.Apple Silicon app database lists all the apps compatible with M1 Macs so far.Rosetta translation is so good that M1 Macs can even run x86 instructions faster than Intel Macs in many cases.īut it’s still important and exciting to see official M1 compatibility arrive, particularly for your most important or critical apps. Now a free open source app – from developer DigiDNA who makes iMazing – means it’s super easy to check all the apps on your Mac locally for M1 app compatibility.Īs we shared before, official Apple Silicon support for apps offers finely tuned efficiency and really impressive performance, but even non-supported apps running through Rosetta 2 translation run really well (which happens automatically after macOS Big Sur prompts you to download Rosetta 2 for the first time). We’ve seen some valuable app and game databases recently keeping track of all the software out there that’s optimized for Apple Silicon. ![]()
