XRiteDevice
XRiteDevice is a system helper service (launchDaemon) from X-Rite, a vendor of professional color measurement and management hardware and software. This helper daemon manages communication between X-Rite hardware devices—such as color spectrophotometers (like the i1 Display Pro, ColorChecker), profiling instruments, and other color-critical tools—and their host applications like ColorLogic ZePrints, profiling software, or Adobe Creative Suite extensions. The daemon runs in the background and handles device detection, calibration, and live colour data streaming. It is not a standalone app but rather a required system component bundled with X-Rite's professional color software suite.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionXRiteDevice is a launchDaemon helper component, not a standalone app—it cannot be updated separately. To ensure it runs natively on Apple Silicon, you must update the parent X-Rite color-management software product that installed this daemon. If you use X-Rite's spectrophotometer or profiling tools (such as the i1Profiler, i1Match, or colour-calibration plugins for Adobe apps), check the X-Rite website or your installed product's Help menu for an update. Launch the vendor's official installer or update utility for your X-Rite product; installing a newer version will replace this daemon with a native Apple Silicon build if one is available. Since we have limited public information about X-Rite's current native Apple Silicon support timeline, contact X-Rite support directly or visit their support portal to confirm that your specific colour tool ships a native build—especially important given the September 2028 deadline when Apple removes Rosetta 2 support entirely. If your X-Rite product does not yet have a native build, ask the vendor for a timeline or consider temporarily licensing a competing colour-management solution that already runs natively on Apple Silicon, such as those from Datacolor or i1Profiler's equivalents in the Adobe ecosystem.
