Is Maestro compatible with the next version of OS X? In other words is it 64 bit, whatever that means? ;-)

In other words is it 64 bit, whatever that means? :wink:

Yes, it is.

You can actually test any app on your Mac to see if they are 64-bit using the file command in Terminal.app, like so:

/usr/bin/file /Applications/Keyboard\ Maestro.app/Contents/MacOS/Keyboard\ Maestro

Note that I had to go into the .app wrapper to get the actual executable (that is to say, don't just stop at the ".app" go into /Contents/MacOS/ and get the actual executable name, which is almost always the same as the app name)

Also, don't forget to escape spaces with \ (as shown above).

Here's the output of that command:

/Applications/Keyboard Maestro.app/Contents/MacOS/Keyboard Maestro: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

Compare that to a non-64-bit app, the DVD Player.app in High Sierra:

/usr/bin/file /Applications/DVD\ Player.app/Contents/MacOS/DVD\ Player

gives this as output:

/Applications/DVD Player.app/Contents/MacOS/DVD Player: Mach-O executable i386

There is a free app called "32-bitCheck" which "checks installed apps, code bundles, command tools and more for those which are 32-bit" so you can easily identify all 32-bit apps on your Mac. You can download it from https://eclecticlight.co/downloads/. (There are several other useful and free tools at that page, too.)

Excellent! I'm sure you'll love it. I couldn't use a Mac without it!
