REAPER v6.23 - 15MB
macOS 10.15+ Catalina/Big Sur (Notarized)

Also available: macOS ARM64 (beta) - 12MB

Note: the Catalina/Big Sur macOS download is notarized and uses the "hardened runtime," which may reduce compatibility with certain plug-ins. You may still run the regular 64-bit macOS download on Catalina and Big Sur; however, you must shift+right click and choose "Open" when running that version for the first time.

For maximum Intel plug-in compatibility, users with M1-powered Macs should use the Intel (10.15+) version rather than the native ARM64 beta version.
