Related: it’s been sad to see the HP48 emulators bitrotting. m48 is no longer available on the App Store, and I can’t find anything that works anymore for the Mac.

There's a port of Emu48 to MacOS

https://sourceforge.net/projects/emu48mac/

Kinda Mac-related is i48 for iOS:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/i48/id329454950

hpcalc.org has a list of emulators:

Best seems to be Emu48, as mentioned above:

x48 is open source, like Emu48:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/x48.berlios/

Unfortunately I couldn't get any of em to build anymore. Emu48 is definitely the best, but it needs help to build on new MacOS. x48 doesn't build anymore, and is also X11 based, which is not great on Mac anymore either.

Gosh. I got lucky that the m48 from my 6s restored successfully to my 11 pro. Love that software.
