This is a privileged helper daemon (SMFHelper7) that is bundled as part of Path Finder, the advanced file manager and Finder replacement for macOS developed by Cocoatech. Path Finder provides powerful file browsing and management tools with features including dual-pane navigation, folder synchronization, batch operations, integration with cloud storage services, and access to advanced Unix utilities through an intuitive graphical interface. The helper component works in the background to support Path Finder's privileged operations. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis helper component cannot be updated separately — it is part of Path Finder itself and is updated whenever you update the main Path Finder application. Path Finder has shipped a native Apple Silicon build and you can get the native version by updating the parent application through Cocoatech's official website. Visit cocoatech.io and download the latest version of Path Finder for macOS, which will include the native build of this helper. The installer will seamlessly replace your current copy and preserve your settings and preferences. If Path Finder was installed through Setapp, update it through the Setapp app instead — Setapp will pull the current native build automatically. After updating, your file manager experience will be faster and more efficient on Apple Silicon hardware, with better battery life during intensive file operations.
