32-bitCheck is a simple Mac utility that checks if applications or other software solutions are compatible to 32-bit systems. It can be downloaded from the official website and it has a straightforward installation process.
Its interface looks minimalist, being comprised of a simple main window where there is an area for adding the files or folders to be checked and a couple of options to be ticked or unticked. There are no customizations options, extra skin themes or advanced font styles.
To start using this utility, individuals have to select from the main menu the folder that they want to have scanned. Once it's selected, they only have to press the scan button and it's all done.
32-bitCheck can be used to scan not only applications but also plugins and executable code. At the end of the scan, it generates text reports. It supports drag-and-drop and has an option that automates the update checker.
To sum it up, 32-bitCheck is a simple but effective tool to use if you want to discover which applications are compatible to 32-bit systems.
