How to use Rosetta 2?

  • This is not an app that requires user interaction.
  • It functions automatically in the background when using apps designed only for Macs with Intel processors.
  • It translates the app for use on Apple silicon-based systems.
  • Using an app that requires it should not result in any noticeable performance issues.
  • However, contacting the app’s developer for a version that can fully utilize Apple silicon’s power and performance is recommended.
