macOS 27 - working and non-working apps thread

[kindofblue91]

Anyone happen to use DisplayLink Manager and able to confirm it’s working?

 

[Jbobby22]

My mail app will not open up anymore on the screen?

 

[mikecwest]

Do any Menu Bar apps work?

I had to install AppCleaner to uninstall nektony! That makes me sad.. it was the best app updater app (nektony) for sure

Back to Updatest, glad it still runs

AppRack works

 

[reppo]

Is there a working tool for NTFS access, Paragon and Tuxera don't work anymore.

 

[IrishMac_353]

I don't have permissions to edit 🙁 (But I'm new so that's ok).

Working:
Carbon copy cloner
Pixelmator Pro (but MacOS complaints that it crashed after I quit the application)
Proton Mail, VPN and Drive
Seagate/LaCie unlock encrypted drive

Almost working:

Proton Bridge, works but needs to be quit and re-launched.

 

[GrandMoffGoose]

The TimHorton's app doesn't seem to work. Or at least the QR code section for scanning doesn't pop up. Anyone got it to work for them?

 

[Taavi99]

Does pCloud Drive work?

 

[josephwit]

I can't find anything that DOESN'T work. Amazing for first version.

Pro Tools 2026.4 works perfectly!
Acrobat works for me (someone said it didn't).
Speedtest works for me (someone said it didn't).
Tunnelblick works, but can't find "don't show again" for warnings.

Yep just tried it.

How about PaloAlto GlobalProtect? Anyone running it or having any issues with it?

Would like to know this too.

apps.app wont run. not from desktop, nor from the applications folder

 

[mbpr53]

apps.app wont run on macos27. neither clicking on the dock icon, nor from the applications folder

ran DiskUtility on all volumes - OK now. Didnt catch the error it found, but there were a couple

 

[Kashchei]

Sibelius Ultimate goes on the partially working list. The program generally works fine but it can’t export scores as pdfs now

 

[lucasrant]

Any OpenClaw users that can say whether it's working correctly in the beta?

 

[PolymathCrowsbane]

The Mevo Wireless Webcam app works, but I had to install Rosetta. Apparently, MacOS 27 supports it, but doesn't include it by default, which makes sense given they're deprecating it next release.

 

[Gregintosh]

Anyone know about the following?

- SingleBox
- nVidia GeForce Now
- iMazing
- PCCalc
- StarCraft 2

I noticed the list some people listed Adobe working, but has anyone tested using an older version of Illustrator 2025 (29.0.1) and Photoshop 2026 (27.0.0) running the Golden Gate dev beta and is it working?

 

[southerndoc]

So far, there haven't been any of my apps with any incompatibilities. I see what others have posted about incompatible apps (I don't use those). Overall, this first beta appears way more stable than macOS 26 dev beta 1 -- both the OS as well as app compatibility. It is so much faster too!

e you going all in on your production system, or only on test partition or system? For me, I will wait until apps that I use catch up

 

[retrospek]

Anyone tried Homebridge ? Does it work ? Thanks…

Photoshop 27.5 is working for me.

After I got Homebrew working (thanks to Antigravity CLI). I have OpenClaw v2026.6.5 working in the beta.
