Adapter
Adapter is a lightweight file conversion utility for macOS that converts between various audio and video formats. It supports batch processing and format conversion workflows, allowing users to quickly transcode media files into different codecs and containers. The app is designed as a simple, straightforward converter for users who need occasional format transformations without the complexity of a full-featured video editing suite.

1 suggestionAdapter remains Intel-only and there is no native Apple Silicon build currently shipping. The most recent version we found was 2.1.6 (from 2021), and the vendor has not announced native support plans. With Apple removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), you will have roughly 27 months from today to find a solution. The vendor's website may have more recent updates — visit macroplant.com to check whether a newer build with Apple Silicon support has been released, or contact them directly to ask about native version plans. If no progress is announced by early 2028, consider moving to a natively supported alternative such as Handbrake (a free, open-source video converter with excellent Apple Silicon support), FFmpeg (command-line based, very powerful), or a more modern commercial tool like Media Encoder. For now, Adapter continues to run under Rosetta, so there is no immediate urgency — but starting to track the vendor's release notes would be prudent.
