Hard Disk Manager
Hard Disk Manager is a disk partitioning, cloning and backup utility from Paragon Software, used by power users and IT professionals to manage drive layouts, migrate data between disks, create bootable backups, and recover lost partitions. It offers partition resizing without data loss, imaging and cloning of entire drives, boot repair tools, and support for multiple file systems including NTFS, FAT32, HFS+ and APFS. The app has historically been popular among users needing low-level disk management beyond macOS's built-in Disk Utility.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionHard Disk Manager for Mac has been discontinued by Paragon Software and is no longer actively maintained. There is no native Apple Silicon build, and the Intel-only version will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027). Since today is June 2026, you have approximately 18 months before the deadline. If you currently rely on Hard Disk Manager for disk management, cloning, or backup tasks, begin evaluating alternatives now. For partition management and resizing, consider the built-in Disk Utility (which has improved significantly in recent macOS releases) or third-party tools like Transloader or Partition Magic alternatives that are actively maintained. For comprehensive backup and disk cloning with native Apple Silicon support, look at Carbon Copy Cloner, which offers robust full-disk and selective-file backup with native performance. SuperDuper is another actively developed cloning solution that supports Apple Silicon. Contact Paragon to confirm whether they have plans to release a native build of Hard Disk Manager for macOS before deciding which alternative best fits your workflow.
