The 2018 release in this repo is x86_64-only and will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 (after macOS 27 in late 2027). A community-maintained, Apple Silicon-native, auto-updating fork is now available at CraigVG/mac2imgur. Same Bundle Identifier so it cleanly replaces existing installs and preserves user preferences.

Hi @mileswd 👋 — first, thanks for building mac2imgur. I've used it for years.
The 2018 release here is x86_64-only and will stop working on Apple Silicon Macs once Rosetta 2 is removed (Apple has confirmed this happens after macOS 27 in late 2027). I built a modernized fork at CraigVG/mac2imgur and would love to direct existing users there before their installs break.
What the fork is
arm64/x86_64) binary, macOS 14+com.mileswd.mac2imgur) — installs cleanly over the 2018 build, preserves all preferences and Imgur OAuth stateWhat this PR does
Adds two lines to the top of your README pointing users to the fork. That's it. No code changes, no license changes, no requests for you to maintain anything.
Why a PR rather than just an issue
Issues are disabled on this repo, so I couldn't open a discussion. Happy to close this PR and switch to whatever channel works for you — email, Twitter, etc. Just wanted to give existing users a clear off-ramp before the Rosetta sunset.
If you'd rather I not link to the fork from your README, totally understood — close this PR and I'll respect that. Just hoping to do right by the user base you built. 🙏
