The OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP), a critical tool enabling older Intel Macs to run recent macOS versions, has stopped accepting donations. This development signals significant uncertainty for the project and its users. The OCLP's future is now unclear as it faces challenges developing macOS Tahoe, the final macOS release supporting Intel-based Macs.

Apple's ongoing hardware restrictions and the departure of key developers, including lead developer Mykola Grymalyuk who joined Apple, have severely hampered progress. macOS Tahoe development has stalled, and while OCLP continues limited work, Apple Silicon Macs face unknown support timelines.
