Spyder5Pro is a professional color calibration and profiling tool for monitors, projectors and printers. It is used by photographers, videographers, designers and print professionals to ensure accurate colour reproduction across their workflow. The software uses Datacolor's hardware colorimeter (bundled with the product) to measure display output and generate custom ICC colour profiles. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionDatacolor has shipped Universal Binary (native Apple Silicon) builds of Spyder5Pro since version 5.8, which runs natively on M-series Macs without any emulation. The simplest upgrade path is to visit Datacolor's official download page and download the current Spyder5Pro installer — it will automatically serve the native build on Apple Silicon Macs. Alternatively, if you have an existing Datacolor account or auto-updater configured, you can check for updates within the app itself. After installing the native build, your existing calibration profiles, settings and colorimeter pairing will carry over automatically — no manual migration is needed. You should see noticeably faster display profiling and lower CPU and battery drain during colour operations compared to running under Rosetta 2.
