Checkmate
Checkmate is a system utility for macOS that performs comprehensive disk and file system diagnostics, integrity checks, and repair operations. It scans for file system errors, evaluates disk health, and can help diagnose performance issues or data corruption problems. The app is used by IT professionals, system administrators, and power users who need low-level troubleshooting and maintenance tools beyond what the standard macOS Disk Utility offers.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find detailed current information about Checkmate's development status or native Apple Silicon support. Given the bundle ID com.micromat.Checkmate, this appears to be from Micromat, a developer known for disk utility tools, though public information about this specific product is limited. Contact Micromat directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned. With the September 2028 deadline for macOS 28's removal of Rosetta 2 drawing within 28 months, it is important to know your path forward sooner rather than later. If Micromat is no longer actively maintaining this tool, consider alternatives like Disk Utility Pro (from developer Kamatsu), DriveDx for disk health monitoring, or Malwarebytes for comprehensive system scanning — all have confirmed native Apple Silicon support and active development.
