Non-Working Apps (move to the other list once they are confirmed to be working)

  • Alcove (will not launch after install)
  • Aldente ( Battery Manager) - Experimental build for Tahoe v1.33.2 -> Working with 1.34.1
  • Bartender 6 (Alpha 4) - Slows down the Mac as if eating an extreme amount of CPU. Notified developer.
  • Carbon Copy Cloner V7.1.1 (See my post #38) - Latest beta v7.1.2-b4 now works
  • Clean Email (use web client instead)
  • DEVONthink 4 (runs but crashes on exit)
  • Endless Sky (crashes within a few minutes - edit: another try didn't crash but glitchy graphics
  • FlipClock [screensaver] (Does not load preview or options)
  • Mailbutler (crashes)
  • MagicJack (opens but cannot find telephone)
  • Malwarebytes (runs, but you'll have difficulty installing new updates)

Partially Working
  • Adapter (conversions work, but update does not)
  • Aerial Companion (UI & configuration is functioning, can display content as dynamic wallpaper but not as a screensaver [see screensaver note in not working section])
  • Books (not working fully in developer beta 4 / public beta 1. (a) Create a simple ePub in Pages, Calibre, etc. (b) Import to Books. (c) Books crashes with the following error message: ‘Book Content Unavailable. There was a problem loading book content. Try closing and reopening.’
  • Bumpr (Initially works but will not let you edit settings after initial install)
  • CleanShotX - 4.8 - can take screenshots, but can't edit them in the CleanshotX app because most of the icons in the toolbar aren't accessible)
  • ColorNavigator 7 (works, but creates an issue with Notifications Settings)
  • Flycut (~60 second delay in response to clicking menu bar icon to see the pull down window upon launch. Keyboard shortcut pop-up dialog works instantly at launch.)
  • Forecast Bar (Weather notifications working but will not appear in Menu Bar)
  • iMazing (Broken context menus and popups, various buttons not working. See post)

  • Microsoft Outlook - Couple of crashes, but generally working okay.
  • Mullvad (VPN works, but Messages cannot receive or send messages when it's active)
  • PureVPN (Dashboard allows VPN to be enabled but not disabled. Taskbar still allows it to be disabled)
  • Scrivener (not working fully in developer beta 4 / public beta 1 – see Scrivener forum)
  • Steam (app works but haven't actually gotten a game to work - maybe it's just the games themselves?)
  • Tabs Saver for Safari (It is autosaving sessions but previously saved sessions I had did not appear?)
  • Time Machine icon not set up, had to go into settings and select my backup disc. Now enabled.
  • WhatsApp Desktop (In developer beta 4 / public beta 1, ‘Export Chat’ causes WhatsApp to close without an export being completed)
  • Yahoo Mail App.
Debated (some say it works, some say it doesn't)
  • Docker Desktop (See this post)
  • Dropbox - 226.3.5047 works
  • Surfshark 4.20.0 (download version spotty, MAS seems fully stable)

it is funny, all other apps seem to be working fine, except their own Finder. It displays funky when it is in column view
 
Would really love to know if DaVinci resolve 20 is working. Rekordbox (USB Export), and Dropbox (those on file provider update & those on not), OBS studio, Serato DJ
 
So the big thing is any Web App/Add To Dock App that was removed from the dock DOES NOT show up in the new Spotlight. They are still there but hidden in the folder (Macintosh HD - Users - Apps) but just a warning, they seem to have graphical issues when opened up. So I'm wondering if Apple plans to remove this feature, even though the option is still in Safari, but again if you remove from dock, without Launchpad, they DO NOT appear in the new Spotlight.
 
Please add to working:
  • Affinity Designer 2
  • Affinity Publisher 2
  • Affinity Photo 2
  • Proton Pass
  • Proton VPN
  • CleanMyMac
Edit: thank you kind Internet stranger! Any chance I could get you to add the ones I have in the iOS Wiki post?

I see Parallels Desktop Pro is there. Are there any limitations or issues or does it just straight up work? Does anybody use Acronis True Image for backup and recovery on MacOS? I do, and I’m not super worried because I still use Time Machine which is my primary go to for local backups, but if anybody knows if that app is functional that would be nice to know before I take the plunge. I do like using it to have a backup in the cloud in case the worst happens on-premise here.
 
More to add working:
  • Microsoft Word
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft PowerPoint
  • Festivitas
  • AdGuard Pro
  • Mactracker
  • Parcel
  • Reeder Classic
  • HP Smart
  • Geekbench 6
  • Speedtest.Net App
Sidenote - I miss legacy Launchpad. I like the Spotlight updates but I didn't want Launchpad gone.
