Yes, Projector can run on Apple's Mac line of computers running the most up-to-date macOS versions 10.14 (Mojave), 10.15 (Catalina), and 11* (Big Sur), 12 (Monterey), 13 (Ventura), 14 (Sonoma) including on Apple Silicon M1 hardware. Versions back to 10.12 (Sierra) likely will work but are not officially supported. Apple's macOS 12 (Monterey) is in beta as of June 2021 and is not yet supported. There are a couple limitations discussed in this document broken up by major functional area of our product. Please see the sections below to determine whether those limitations affect you. Due to the ever increasing relevance of macOS, Linux, and Tablet operating systems as business environments Projector is continually improving our cross platform compatibility. You will find that with each new release we have more functionality available via our website. |

- The color selector does not display preview colors for utilization targets and stoplight UDFs. It still works, you just won't see a preview.
- On the Home Tab, you cannot reorder the sections using the blue arrows (
) - If you export a grid to Excel using the excel button (
), you will receive a warning message that the file is in use by "Crossover." Click Read-Only button to continue opening the file.
Clicks aren't working or are slightly off - ensure that Show Tab Bar is shown
- Right clicking to access Projector functions will cause a benign error if the Projector window is on a second display, and that display is located "above" the main screen, as is common for using a second screen with a laptop. The issue does not occur if the second display is located to the left or right of the main screen. Following this error, just click "OK" – there is NO need to restart Projector as the message says.
The workaround is to locate the second monitor to the left or right, or simply have Projector on the main screen when right-clicking is needed to context menus.

Viewing Projector Reports
...
Though rare, some users have found that when you click on the link in a Projector email for a scheduled/distributed report your computer may try to open it in Excel, causing an ugly result. This link is actually to a web page that will ask you to enter your Projector login and password before it lets you download the report. The solution is to copy the URL of the link (i.e. Ctrl + click or "Right Click" on it and copy the link location) and then paste it into a web browser (Safari, FireFoxFirefox, Etc..). When you do this it should bring you to a Projector login page. Enter your credentials and it should then allow you to download the Excel file.
