Initial Notes on MacOS 26 (Tahoe)

Apple has now announced MacOS 26 (Tahoe), the next major OS update for the Mac. Though we’ve only just received the initial version of Tahoe, we’re already hard at work on updates for our entire product line. We expect to have full support for Tahoe ahead of its release in the fall.

Current Status

Our helpful Status page always provides information about support for new operating systems. Give it a look and you’ll see that all of our current releases already run on Tahoe! That’s the result of a lot of hard work, including the transition to our new ARK backend. We hope our users who install MacOS betas will appreciate it.

It should be noted, however, that our apps are not yet well tested on Tahoe. The current versions of the apps will warn you of that fact:

As you can see, Apple’s decision to increase the OS version by 11 instead of 1 was unexpected.

That testing has begun, and will continue throughout the summer. Even when it’s complete, however, we always recommend sticking with officially released versions of MacOS for production environments.

The Road Ahead

In the coming weeks, we’ll issue test releases that run without showing a warning on Tahoe. You can opt into those now, then you’ll be alerted once they’re available.

Those test releases will eventually be followed by full releases with official support for Tahoe. That will come later in the MacOS beta cycle, when Apple is less likely to make breaking changes.

As for us, we’re off to do more testing. Stay tuned for more soon.
