Hi,

We have experimental(?) builds for Apple Silicon: https://github.com/NatronGitHub/Natron/releases/download/v2.6.0-alpha1/Natron-RB-2.6-202305220414-dc73d01-macOS12-arm64.dmg

I only have Intel Mac's, so don't know the status of the build.

This is a FAQ on macOS, and not just for Natron. A lot of non-paid software has the same issue because Apple asks for a paid subscription.

Answer from Natron's web site:

About the 2.6 builds mentionned by @rodlie: they run just fine, I use these, but they are not as thoroughly tested because they're using Qt5, that's all.
