Just installed Sierra and wanted to see what works. So far from my testing the below work for me. MOD EDIT: This is a wiki post, which is editable by anyone with the appropriate rights. Please update this post with compatible and incompatible apps to ensure the list is comprehensive. For apps with limited compatibility, please include a link to your post explaining the limitations.

I ran through all the apps that I have installed on my 2015 rMBP 13", and did as much quick testing as I could to compile a list of fairly common third party apps that do/don't work in macOS Sierra. Feel free to add to this list as you see fit and I'll try to keep it up to date. For the purposes of this test, I did not check built in/Apple made apps (with the exception of Final Cut) since that will largely be discussed in the bugs thread. Although I was unable to load any content in Time Machine (even from backups made since the update) which was frustrating. But that's another thread. Anyway, on to the list. Apps that work in Sierra: 1Password 6 Adapter Airmail 3 Alfred 3 Amphetamine BetterTouchTool Blackmagic Disk Speed Test coconutBattery Disk Inventory X Dropbox Duet (with iOS 10, although a bit choppy) Evernote Final Cut Pro X (launches but have not used) Firefox Flux Handbrake (launches but have not used) Itsycal Kodi Magnet Malwarebytes Microsoft Office 2016 OpenEmu (tried several emulators) Plex PopClip Scrivener ScummVM Shazam Simple Comic (will not install latest update but reads CBR files okay) Spotify (although slow to launch and ever the memory hog) Steam StuffIt Expander The Unarchiver Tweetbot uTorrent (can crash in certain circumstances) VLC Apps that do not work in Sierra: Bartender 2 (crashes at launch) CleanMyMac 3 (crashes at launch) EtreCheck (crashes during scan) Final Draft 9 (crashes at launch) Fluid (any apps made with Fluid crash on startup) Maintenance (crashes at launch) Onyx (crashes at launch) Ulysses (crashes at launch) All in all, this is a pretty stable first release with most of the apps I use commonly working without issue. Hope this list helps those that are debating updating their main machine against all recommendations like I have.
Ulysses doesn't work, either. Crash at launch, even when trying with a new user. I'm bummed, because that's my #1 application. Oh, well. The iPad version is good, too.
Fusion 8.1.1 does not work on my MacBook Pro with Retina display 15" early 2013 if accelerated graphics are enabled in the VM. If this is turned off, the VM (Windows 7 Enterprise x64) will power up. 16GB RAM/2.7 i7/512SSD
I changed the title and made this a sticky, so let's collect all compatible and incompatible apps in this thread. The first post will be made a wiki so everyone can edit and have all info in one place.
Final Draft 9 is working fine for me, touch wood. I'm on the latest version (9.0.8), for what it's worth. Two apps that aren't working for me: Karabiner Witch
Photoshop, Illustrator, and Ligthroom works like a charm seems Sierra sandbox/security changes broke the Adobe Application Manager to update offline for now. for the workaround I copy all the files to a folder and open it via terminal with sudo open sudo open /path/to/your/copied/updates/AdobePatchInstaller.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobePatchInstaller and the patcher works like normal
Anyone can tell me if the last version of Java is still workin? I need Java for Adobe Golive. Thanks.
VLC works but the control buttons on full screen are messed up. Probably due to new Volume Design in top bar.
