Hi, @bentalgad. This could happen if you’re running the Intel version of Local on Apple Silicon. If you’re on Apple Silicon, try downloading and installing the Apple Silicon version of Local instead: [https://localwp.com/releases/](https://localwp.com/releases/) If you then see a message about “missing Mailpit” after changing to the Apple Silicon version, try the fix here: > [@MailPit not starting On OSX](https://community.localwp.com/t/mailpit-not-starting-on-osx/41889/6): > > Thanks for sharing your sites.json, @sebastian. It looks correct to me. One thing you can try is to force Local to recopy the mailpit binary on startup (steps below assume macOS, Windows users reading this should [follow these instructions instead](https://community.localwp.com/t/missing-mailpit/41815/4)). Stop any running sites. Quit Local. Open the Finder and choose Go → Go To Folder… Enter ~/Library/Application Support/Local/lightning-services and press Enter. Delete the folder named ‘mailpit-1.12.1+0’, but leave the Finder window open. Make sure … ---

Here’s one easy way to check without having to launch Local: 1. Find Local in your Applications folder. (Command-click the icon in the dock.) 2. Right-click the application icon, choose “Get Info”. You will either see “Application (Apple silicon)” or “Application (Intel)” under “Kind”. ![CleanShot 2025-07-07 at 12.30.09@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/3/0/306e853ea5c80f90f72c7e6cb214f8b3aeedaeb7.png) ---
