Printworks
Printworks is a graphics and print-design application for macOS that allows users to create custom print projects such as brochures, flyers, posters, business cards, and other marketing materials. It provides templates, design tools, and layout features for users who need to produce professional-looking printed materials without learning complex design software. The app was developed by Belight Software and targets small businesses, freelancers, and design enthusiasts.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPrintworks appears to have not received significant updates in recent years — the latest version we can confirm is 2.0.8, and there is no publicly available information indicating a native Apple Silicon build exists or is in development. With Rosetta 2 being removed in macOS 28 (September 2028), this Intel-only build will stop launching entirely on that release. If you actively use Printworks, contact Belight Software directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is planned. If the developer does not respond or confirm active development, consider migrating to actively maintained native alternatives such as Affinity Publisher (a professional page-layout and design tool with a one-time purchase model), Canva Pro (web-based design platform with native Mac app support), or Pixelmator Pro (native Apple Silicon support for image editing and design). Begin exploring these alternatives sooner rather than later to give yourself time to transfer your projects and workflow before Rosetta support ends.
