macOS 26 Tahoe - SCS Computing Supported Applications

Please note: There are some applications that will not work with Tahoe.

If an application or service you use is not on this list, check with the application vendor to see if it is compatible with this version of the operating system.

While we support Tahoe as of September 22nd, 2025 and have conducted internal testing, we are not yet running vendor approved versions of Crashplan and Cisco Secure Client.  We will update this page after vendor approved versions are available.  If you decide to upgrade to Tahoe you assume the risk that these unsupported versions may not function correctly beyond our ability to detect.

Main campus Computing Service supports Tahoe as of October 14th, 2025.  Our table below was updated accordingly with this announcement for relevant services and applications.
