Hi Jason,

Unfortunately we know there are issues for some users on Macs, and we are not able to remedy those issues at this time. [As stated earlier in the year](https://community.brain-map.org/t/advanced-notice-end-of-life-for-allen-brain-explorer-desktop-app/575), we are currently planning to retire this desktop app altogether in late spring 2021.

If this application is essential to the work you do, we’d like to learn more from you! We’ll may reconsider our plan if the app is absolutely essential, or we may accelerate efforts to enhance the [web version of the Brain Explorer](http://connectivity.brain-map.org/3d-viewer) so it satisfies your needs. Please consider describing your needs and goals in detail here, on [the thread](https://community.brain-map.org/t/advanced-notice-end-of-life-for-allen-brain-explorer-desktop-app/575) announcing retirement of the app, or in a direct message to me.

Thanks,  
Tyler
