Thanks to 1Password's recent announcement, the app ecosystem is creeping one step closer to that goal. Rosetta 2 has proven to be shockingly fast and reliable in these situations, but the end goal is to have proper M1 support for all Mac apps within two years.

Those applications can still be used on M1 Macs, but they first need to be run through the Rosetta 2 emulation. All of Apple's first-party applications and many third-party ones have already been updated to run natively on M1, but there are still plenty that haven't been updated yet.

Because M1 is the first Mac chipset to be based on the ARM design, however, the jump to M1 also began a long transition process.
