Merlin 2 is not compatible with macOS 10.12 Sierra

Long-standing Merlin 2 users know all the benefits that our project management application for the Mac offers. While you’ve been using Merlin 2, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes on its development, and we’re thrilled to present Merlin Project to you.

Now in its fourth edition, Merlin Project combines all the familiar features with a clean, modern user interface, plus comes with a host of improvements to make things easier for you and give you brand new capabilities. Download and install the latest version and open one of your existing projects. See just how easy it is to upgrade.

While Merlin 2 has supported all operating systems since OS X 10.4 (Tiger), this support comes to an end with the upcoming release of macOS 10.12 (Sierra). Apple has made so many changes to its OS over the past decade that it is no longer economically viable for us to maintain Merlin 2. The release of the fantastic new version of macOS 10.12 is a great chance to upgrade to Merlin 2’s successor. Merlin Project runs perfectly on the new operating system.

So, don’t delay: Switch to the new version today. As a loyal Merlin 2 user, upgrading to the new version is straightforward and inexpensive.
