All my apps are 32-Bit

I looked at my applications and EVERYTHING seems to be 32-Bit. So what does that mean? Should I stop updating my computer after Mojave?

As Allan said, you are not forced to upgrade to Catalina, and your applications will continue to work on Mojave.


That said, most applications released in recent years are already 64 bit.

Many can be updated to newer versions, other can't or will cost a lot of money.


Still, "All" is a bit too much, since at least the ones that come with macOS are 64 bit by now.


Just to make sure: how did you check for 32 bit applications?

The standard why is to click Apple Menu->About this Mac, then click "System Report", then "Applications".
