Curve Viewer
Curve Viewer is a component of DisplayCAL, a comprehensive color calibration and profiling toolkit for macOS. DisplayCAL is used by photographers, video professionals, designers and color-critical users to create custom ICC color profiles for monitors, printers and other devices, ensuring accurate color representation across their workflow. Curve Viewer displays the tone curves and color data generated during the calibration process, allowing users to verify the quality of their custom profiles and diagnose color issues.

1 suggestionCurve Viewer is a helper component of DisplayCAL, not a standalone application — it is launched automatically by the main DisplayCAL application to display calibration curves and profile data. To resolve any Intel-to-Apple Silicon compatibility issues, you need to update the parent DisplayCAL application itself, not Curve Viewer separately. Contact the DisplayCAL developer at their official site or check their GitHub repository to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned. Since Rosetta 2 will be removed in macOS 28 (late 2027), it is important to verify the status of native support before that deadline if you rely on DisplayCAL for color management.
