Initial Notes on MacOS 27 (Golden Gate)
Learn about using Rogue Amoeba’s apps on Apple’s newest OS, now in beta.

Apple has just announced MacOS 27 (Golden Gate), the next major OS update for the Mac, due out this fall. We’re now hard at work on updates for all of our products, so we can provide full support for Golden Gate ahead of its release.
We Suggest Skipping MacOS Betas
We have long recommended avoiding beta versions of MacOS, and we continue to do so. The smartest path for most users is to stick with the latest officially released version of MacOS 26 (Tahoe), until Golden Gate ships.
If You Do Install the Golden Gate Beta…
All of our current releases already run on Golden Gate. However, the apps have not yet been well tested on Golden Gate, and you may run into issues. Our Status page will be updated regularly to provide full details on support for Golden Gate.
It’s likely that we’ll issue test releases in the coming weeks with updates for Golden Gate. Opt into test releases now, and you’ll be alerted once they’re available.
More to Come
In the months ahead, we’ll have more news regarding support for Golden Gate. To stay up-to-date, check the aforementioned Status page, subscribe to this blog via RSS, and follow us on social media.
