You’ll need to update 32-bit apps or find a replacement before you upgrade to macOS Catalina (10.15) or above.

When upgrading to macOS Catalina, the installer shows a list of recently used apps that are 32-bit. You can review this list before choosing whether to cancel or continue the installation:

macOS Catalina also shows a prohibitory symbol  over the icon of each 32-bit app in the Finder, letting you know that the app will not open.
