In macOS 26, you can see every Rosetta app that has recently run on your machine by going to System Information and then Software / Rosetta Software. It includes the "Fallback Reason" (e.g. if you manually forced the app under Rosetta or if it was an Intel-only binary).




FWIW, I have zero Rosetta apps on my M1 laptop and I've been a Mac user since the earliest days.

I'm super aware of the issues involved--I oversaw the transition from PPC to Intel at a university back in the day, using OG Rosetta. Even then, we had users who would only stop using their PPC apps when you took them from their cold, dead hands.
