SyncReporter is a launchAgent component of Microsoft Office that runs as a background service, typically handling synchronisation tasks and status reporting for Office applications and cloud services. It is a non-standalone helper component bundled with Microsoft Office rather than an application in its own right. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSyncReporter is a helper component of Microsoft Office, not a standalone app, so it cannot be updated separately. The native Apple Silicon build you've seen running in the community comes through updating Microsoft Office itself to a current native build. If you're running an older Intel-only version of Office, the simplest path is to launch Microsoft AutoUpdate: open any Office app (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), go to Help → Check for Updates, and let AutoUpdate pull the current native Office suite. This will replace the Intel build and all its helper components, including SyncReporter, with native Apple Silicon versions. Alternatively, you can uninstall Office completely and download the current installer directly from Microsoft or the Mac App Store (if that's how you originally installed it), which will install the native build by default on an M-series Mac. After updating, SyncReporter will automatically run as a native component with noticeably better performance and battery life compared to the Intel version under Rosetta.
