Silicon

Silicon is a macOS utility that scans the system and reports which installed applications are compiled solely for Intel processors, allowing users to spot software that will not run natively on Apple‑silicon hardware. It presents the findings in a simple interface, making it straightforward to identify potential compatibility issues without manual inspection of each app’s architecture.

The tool is aimed at Mac owners and administrators who need to ensure their software inventory is ready for Apple‑silicon devices, particularly when transitioning from Intel‑based Macs. By highlighting Intel‑only binaries, it helps users decide whether to update, replace, or retain specific applications.

Silicon is distributed under the MIT License, is actively maintained, and includes continuous‑integration status badges indicating a stable release for macOS. The project is hosted by DigiDNA SARL and provides contact links for further information.
