Parallels 14 Catalina

So if you’re ready to upgrade to Catalina in general but need to maintain access to one or two apps, one solution is virtualization software: either Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion. Both apps let you run nearly any operating system—including older versions of macOS like Mojave—in a virtual machine. After you finish this setup, you will be able to run 32-bit apps on your Mac running macOS Catalina. Try Parallels Desktop for free for 14 days and run 32-bit apps on your Mac. Let us know in the comments which 32-bit apps you need to run on macOS Catalina and how this is working out for you.

macOS Catalina is the first macOS to exclusively support 64-bit applications, which means that 32-bit macOS applications will not run on macOS Catalina. Fortunately, the Parallels Desktop Installation Assistant makes it easy for macOS Mojave users to create a macOS Mojave VM before upgrading to macOS Catalina, so they can still run 32-bit Mac and Windows applications on their current Mac.
