## What it is
A community-maintained list tracking which macOS applications support Apple Silicon (ARM) chips, including M-series Macs, with status indicators for native support, Rosetta translation, or incompatibility. It also powers a searchable website at doesitarm.com.

## Use cases
- check if an app runs natively on Apple Silicon before buying a Mac
- find out which developer tools support ARM Macs
- see which apps require Rosetta 2 translation on M1/M2/M3
- verify audio or video production software compatibility with Apple Silicon
- look up whether a game or productivity app works on ARM Macs

## When to choose
- you are migrating to an Apple Silicon Mac and need to check app compatibility
- you want a curated, community-reported compatibility reference
- you need a quick status lookup for a specific macOS app

## When to avoid
- you need official vendor-verified compatibility information
- you need compatibility data for Intel or Windows ARM systems
- you need an automated testing tool rather than a reported list

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
