BookWright
BookWright is Blurb's book-layout and design application for creating photo books, art books, and other illustrated publications. It offers drag-and-drop layout tools, templates, photo editing capabilities, and integrates with Adobe Lightroom via the Blurb Connector, allowing photographers and designers to send photos directly from Lightroom into BookWright for book design. The software is aimed at photographers, creatives, and anyone producing self-published or custom-printed books through Blurb's print-on-demand service.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionBookWright has not yet been updated with a native Apple Silicon build, and the vendor's public documentation does not indicate an active timeline for one. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 today on M-series Macs, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so BookWright will stop launching entirely on that release unless Blurb ships a native version beforehand. With roughly two and a half years until the deadline, it is worth monitoring Blurb's release notes and support pages for any announcement of native Apple Silicon support. If you rely on BookWright for book design workflows, contact Blurb support directly to ask about native Apple Silicon availability and their timeline — this will help gauge whether an update is planned or whether you should explore alternatives like Adobe InDesign (which has native Apple Silicon support) or other layout tools that already run natively on M-series Macs.
