Submit an app on GitHub
DoesItARM’s app list is open source and community-maintained on GitHub. If an app is missing, or its Apple Silicon status is wrong or out of date, you can fix it. Three ways, all on GitHub.
The status legend
Section titled “The status legend”Every app carries one status (the same model behind a verdict):
| Status | Means |
|---|---|
| ✅ | Native Apple Silicon support |
| ✳️ | Works via translation or virtualization (Rosetta 2, Game Porting Toolkit, a VM) |
| ⏹ | Not working yet, but support is in development |
| 🚫 | Not yet supported — Intel only |
| 🔶 | Unknown — more info needed |
Three ways to contribute
Section titled “Three ways to contribute”1. Request a new app
Section titled “1. Request a new app”Use the App Request issue form to propose an app that isn’t listed yet. Open an App Request →
2. Report an update
Section titled “2. Report an update”A status changed — a native build shipped, or our entry is stale? Use the App Update form. Open an App Update →
3. Add it yourself (pull request)
Section titled “3. Add it yourself (pull request)”Comfortable with a PR? Edit the app list in README.md directly and open a pull request.
Edit the app list →
Follow the Standard App Line Format, keep the list alphabetical, and state the status clearly:
* [App Name](https://app-download.link/) - ✅ Native Apple Silicon Support as of v1.2.3 - [Tracker](https://github.com/owner/repo/issues) [Verification](https://github.com/ThatGuySam/doesitarm/issues/358)What makes a good submission
Section titled “What makes a good submission”The issue forms ask for these — the more you provide, the faster it’s verified:
- The official app name (as on the developer’s site).
- The proposed status from the legend above, ideally with the version it changed in.
- A category (avoid the generic “Productivity” unless nothing else fits).
- Tracker / discussion links we can re-check later for status changes.
- An official download page so users get the app from a trusted source.
- Verification — proof of the architecture (see below).
How to verify an app’s architecture
Section titled “How to verify an app’s architecture”Any of these establishes whether an app is Apple Silicon native:
- Scan it yourself — the App Scan tool reads the binary’s architecture in your browser. Quote the result.
- Activity Monitor — run the app, open Activity Monitor, and read the Kind column: Apple, Intel, or Universal. Screenshot it.
- Silicon Info — a menu-bar app that shows the frontmost app’s architecture.
What happens next
Section titled “What happens next”A maintainer checks the evidence against the verdict model and updates the list; automation acknowledges and labels new requests. Your contribution becomes part of the same dataset the website and the API serve.
