About:
RoaringApps is a utility that displays detailed compatibility information for applications installed on your Mac. It checks your installed apps against a community-driven database to report support status across macOS versions, including Apple Silicon and older OS releases. This helps users quickly identify potential issues before upgrading their operating system.
Key Features:
  • Scans local applications and matches them against a comprehensive compatibility database
  • Provides clear visual indicators for app support status (working, broken, unknown)
  • Displays detailed information including developer, version, and supported macOS versions
  • Offers a user-friendly interface to browse and search the compatibility database
Use Cases:
  • Verifying if critical applications will function correctly before performing a major macOS upgrade
  • Identifying which installed applications may be outdated or unsupported on current hardware
Alternatives:
  • App Compatibility Checker – Built-in macOS feature that provides limited, basic compatibility info during OS updates
  • RoaringApps Website – The web-based version of the database, which requires manual searching instead of local scanning
