i1Profiler Tray
i1Profiler Tray is a status menu utility from X-Rite (a Calibration division of Nikon) that provides quick access to colour management and display profiling features. It lives in the macOS menu bar (the "tray" area at the top right of the screen) and allows users to manage ICC colour profiles, switch between different display calibrations, and access i1Profiler's main application settings without opening the full colour management suite. It is primarily used by photographers, graphic designers, and colour-critical professionals who need to work with calibrated monitors and manage device-specific colour profiles.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestioni1Profiler Tray is a helper component of X-Rite's i1Profiler colour management suite. There is no native Apple Silicon build yet — the search results confirm it still relies on Rosetta to run on M-series Macs. You should contact X-Rite directly to ask about their timeline for shipping a native Apple Silicon version of i1Profiler and its companion Tray utility. Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (late 2027), so the Intel-only build will stop working on that release. X-Rite has been responsive to Apple Silicon support requests from other users in recent years, so there is a good chance they will ship a native update before the deadline — but waiting for word from the vendor is the right approach here rather than rushing to a different tool. In the meantime, keep an eye on X-Rite's download page and software release notes for announcements of Apple Silicon support.
