Does QFinder Pro Support Apple Silicon(ARM) Mac Natively?
Applicable Products
- Qfinder Pro for macOS
Scenario
With Apple announcing the deprecation of Rosetta 2 translation technology, Mac users with Apple Silicon chips are concerned that Qfinder Pro — previously built for Intel (x86) only — will stop working on their Apple Silicon Mac. Without Rosetta, Intel-only apps cannot run on Apple Silicon Macs.
Solution
No, Qfinder Pro will NOT stop working. Starting from version 7.13.1, Qfinder Pro is a native Universal macOS application that runs natively on both Intel (x86) and Apple Silicon (ARM) Mac computers — no Rosetta required.
Step 1: Check Your Current Qfinder Pro Version
- Open Qfinder Pro on your Mac.
- Go to Help → About Qfinder Pro.
- Check the version number.
If your version is 7.13.1 or later, you are already running the native Universal build. No action needed.
Step 2: Update Qfinder Pro (If Below 7.13.1)
- Go to the QNAP official download page:
- Under Qfinder Pro, click the Mac download link.
- Download and install the latest version (currently 7.13.2).
- After installation, Qfinder Pro will run natively on your Apple Silicon Mac without Rosetta.
Key Release Note
From the official Qfinder Pro release notes (Mac):
### 7.13.1
[Improvement]
- Qfinder Pro is now a native universal macOS application that can be installed on both Intel (x86) and Apple Silicon (ARM) Mac computers.
