# Which version of macOS does Storage Studio need?

Storage Studio needs **macOS 13 Ventura or later**, and it runs on Sonoma, Sequoia and newer releases too.

A few things to know:

- Storage Studio is built for **Apple silicon Macs only** — Intel Macs aren't supported; see [Does Storage Studio work on Intel Macs?](https://storagestudio.us/faq/getting-started/does-storage-studio-work-on-intel-macs).
- Tuhi's full conversational answers need **macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence turned on**. On earlier macOS versions everything else works, and Tuhi still answers from its built-in knowledge.
- macOS 12 Monterey and earlier aren't supported.

Check your version from the Apple menu → **About This Mac**.
