Burnish 0.3.2-beta

What's new

Same app, right chip.

The short version

• Burnish now refuses an update that won't run on your Mac's chip.
• An app that runs natively on Apple silicon is never swapped for one that needs Rosetta.
• Apps Burnish can't check get a button to ask for them to be covered.

The full notes

• Updates must be built for your Mac. Before replacing anything, Burnish now reads which chips
  the new copy is built for. It refuses one that won't run on this Mac's processor, one that would
  trade an app running natively on Apple silicon for an Intel-only build that needs Rosetta, and
  one whose chips it can't read, and offers the developer's download page instead. An app that's
  already Intel-only can still update to another Intel-only version, and every update's hallmarks
  now include Built for this Mac.
• Ask for an app to be covered. Apps under Can't check, other than Apple's and App Store
  apps, get Request Support on GitHub. It opens a ready-made issue with the app's name, bundle ID
  and version, and nothing is sent until you submit it. Know where the app posts its updates? Say
  so, and it can become a community feed for everyone.

Install

Download Burnish.dmg (macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel), open it and drag Burnish into Applications.

Burnish isn't notarised by Apple yet, so the first time you open it macOS asks you to confirm: open it once, click Done, then System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. After that it updates itself.
