System requirements: which Macs run Lynx

Lynx runs on Macs with Apple silicon and macOS 14 Sonoma or later. How to check your Mac’s chip, and what to do if you have an Intel Mac.

Open the Apple menu (top-left corner of the screen) › About This Mac.

  • If the line Chip says Apple M1, M2, M3, M4 or later, your Mac has Apple silicon. Download Lynx.
  • If it says Processor followed by Intel, your Mac has an Intel processor. Lynx for Intel Macs isn’t available yet. On the Download page, leave your email and we’ll write once, when it’s ready.

Most Macs sold since late 2020 have Apple silicon. Lynx and Lynx Notch need macOS 14 Sonoma or later.

If you downloaded Lynx on an Intel Mac, it won’t open there. Delete the app and the .dmg. The Intel version will be a separate download.
