Can we get native Apple Silicon support for Starry Night on MacOS? Apple has already flagged Starry Night 8 as being incompatible with MacOS 28 when the Rosetta 2 support that Starry night currently uses to run on new Macs is withdrawn in the fall of 2027. The loss of Rosetta 2 will mean Starry night will no longer run on any Mac desktop or laptop released since 2021.

Keiron Smith Hi Kelly,
During its “2026 Platforms State of the Union" event, Apple announced that macOS Tahoe will be the last major version of macOS that supports Intel-based Macs. As Starry Night version 8 and earlier versions are compiled exclusively for Intel based Macs, this warning is informing you that this is the final version of macOS that will support your installed copy of Starry Night. If you update your Mac past its current version, your installed copy of Starry Night will no longer function on that machine.
While we will not be offering an update to Starry Night v8 or earlier, a new version of Starry Night (v9) will be fully compatible with the latest macOS and Apple Silicon based Macs going forward.
We expect to begin a phased release of Starry Night v9 by the end of this year (2026).
Thank you!
