Washing Machine Daemon
Washing Machine Daemon is a helper component of Intego's security and system-management suite for macOS. Based on its bundle ID, it runs as a background service to support Intego's main applications — likely monitoring system activity, managing security scans, or coordinating maintenance tasks. Daemon components are not standalone applications and cannot be updated independently; they are updated as part of their parent application.

1 suggestionWashing Machine Daemon is a background helper component, not a standalone app, so there is nothing to update separately. The daemon's status depends entirely on which version of Intego's main application you have installed. Check which Intego product on your Mac claims ownership of this daemon (look in System Settings → General → Login Items, or search Activity Monitor for "intego"), then update that parent application directly. If you are unsure which Intego app owns this daemon, visit Intego's website or contact their support to clarify, and ask whether they offer a native Apple Silicon build — if they do, updating to it will automatically update this daemon to run natively as well. If Intego's main app has no native build yet, this daemon will continue to run under Rosetta 2 until Apple removes it in macOS 28 (September 2028).
