SwiftDefaultApps

SwiftDefaultApps is a PreferencePane component bundled within macOS System Settings, not a standalone application. The search results indicate that SwiftDefaultApps has not been updated in several years and has never been compiled for Apple Silicon — only an Intel x86 build exists. When Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), this PreferencePane will stop working entirely. Since SwiftDefaultApps is a system extension that lives within System Settings rather than a standalone app, there is no separate download or update channel to use. Updating macOS itself will not help, as the app appears to be abandoned by its developer (the GitHub repository shows no meaningful updates in years). For setting default applications on Apple Silicon Macs, consider the command-line tool utiliti, which is actively maintained and ships compiled for Apple Silicon. Alternatively, macOS System Settings offers built-in controls for default browsers, email clients, and calendar applications, though these are less comprehensive than SwiftDefaultApps. If you need advanced default-app management today, utiliti provides the same core functionality via command line and will continue to work after September 2028.
