Omarchy is launching official Mac support for Apple Silicon through a dedicated team called Omarchy M. The team of 15 developers is building a native installer, GPU drivers, and hardware support to run Omarchy on M1, M2, and newer Mac machines alongside macOS, with the first release targeting full compatibility for M1 and M2 variants.
SaneHosts is a Mac GUI application that manages the /etc/hosts file to block ads, trackers, and malware across the system. It offers five protection levels with curated blocklists, requires Touch ID authentication for changes, keeps data local without cloud sync, and costs $14.99 after a 14-day free trial.
Apple's new foldable iPhone Duo, unveiled as the company's first foldable smartphone, features side-mounted controls and Touch ID that left-handed users argue could make the $1,999 device difficult or unusable without a dedicated left-handed mode. The device has a 7.6-inch inner screen and 5.4-inch outer screen, but its design optimized for right-hand operation has sparked criticism from the left-handed community, though accessibility features are built in.
Omarchy M is a new team effort to run Omarchy Linux natively on Apple Silicon Macs with minimal setup, building on prior work by the Asahi project. The team of 14 engineers has developed installers, GPU drivers, Touch ID support, and other tools to enable seamless dual-boot installation alongside macOS, with initial focus on M1 and M2 compatibility.
