Smart Switch is Samsung's data migration and device management utility for macOS. It lets users transfer data (contacts, messages, calendar entries, photos, documents and other files) between devices — typically from an older Mac to a new one, or between Macs and Samsung mobile devices. The app handles syncing and backup tasks, making it a convenient tool for users setting up new Macs or switching between Samsung ecosystem devices. It is free software aimed at Samsung device owners and those buying new Mac hardware.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">A native Apple Silicon (Universal) build of Smart Switch has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. If you are still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, update to the latest version of Smart Switch. You will see noticeably better performance and battery efficiency on M-series Macs after updating. Download the latest build directly from Samsung's official Smart Switch website or through your Mac's software update mechanisms if it was originally installed via the App Store.</recommendation> <parameter name="recommendation_url">https://www.samsung.com/us/support/smart-switch/
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionNo native Apple Silicon version of Samsung Smart Switch has been identified. The latest known version (5.0.31.1) appears to be Intel-only and relies on Rosetta 2 translation on Apple Silicon Macs. Samsung's official support channels and app distribution pages do not list a native or Universal Binary version. Given that this is a specialized utility for device migration, your best option is to check Samsung's official support website for the latest version and any announcements about Apple Silicon support. Alternatively, if you need to transfer data to a Samsung device, you may be able to use Samsung's cloud sync service or perform the transfer directly from device to device via USB or Samsung's desktop web interface, depending on your specific use case.
