Apple has released macOS 10.15 (Catalina), which does not support 32-bit software — including Final Draft 9. Final Draft 9 will continue to work on macOS 10.7 (Lion) to 10.14 (Mojave), but if you upgrade to Catalina or purchase a Mac running this operating system, you will no longer be able to use Final Draft 9. For more information click here.
Click here to upgrade to the Catalina-compatible Final Draft 11 .
