- Photographers processing scanned film negatives on macOS
- Worth noticing
- Apple silicon is tested on real hardware; Intel is signed and notarized but explicitly unverified by hand.
Field notes
Unireverse Film separates Apple silicon and Intel releases, with each available as both a package installer and a ZIP archive; checksums are listed for the two architectures. The beta is deliberately disposable: its build carries an export deadline of 31 December 2026, while the app is stated to continue opening and rendering afterward. Feedback goes directly to a support address, with reports requested to include macOS version, hardware architecture, app version, scanner, and source file format.
