Cormorant is a macOS utility for efficient file compression and archiving, built around Apple's native Apple Archive technology. It gives users fine-grained control over compression speed and energy consumption, with preset profiles (economy, balanced, performance) and custom thread/quality-of-service settings optimised for M-series Macs. The app is particularly useful for archiving files intended to stay on macOS and for removing quarantine flags from transferred files via AirDrop and similar services. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionUpdate to the native build of Cormorant from the official Eclectic Light Company website. The vendor has been shipping a native Apple Silicon version since at least 2022, so any recent download from their site will serve the Universal Binary automatically. Visit eclecticlight.co, navigate to Cormorant, and download the current version — the installer will detect your Mac's architecture and install the native build. If you have an older Intel-only build of Cormorant installed, uninstall it first before running the new installer. No special beta channel or opt-in is required; the standard download gives you the native version directly.
