CellCounter 1.0.9 (macOS)
CellCounter 1.0.9 for macOS is a native universal performance release for Apple Silicon and Intel. It requires macOS 15 or later.
Performance and efficiency
- Cellpose and Cellpose-SAM now use persistent, serialized workers keyed by model signature, so compatible analyses reuse the loaded Python process and model instead of paying cold-start cost for every image.
- Worker cancellation, crashes, and unhealthy responses retire the process safely and recover on the next run; the existing one-shot path remains as a fallback.
- Model-storage inventory work is cached, deduplicated, cancellable, and performed away from SwiftUI rendering and the main actor.
- Bundled Python helpers are staged only when their content or permissions change, avoiding unconditional launch-time copies.
Validation
- The full native test suite passed, including 4/4 UI tests.
- Launch performance averaged 0.481 seconds in the release-candidate test run.
- The archive contains both
arm64andx86_64and passes strict code-signature validation. - ZIP SHA-256:

Install
Download CellCounter-v1.0.9.zip, unzip it, and move CellCounting.app into Applications. This build is ad-hoc signed but not notarized, so macOS may require System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway on first launch.
Existing projects, model environments, masks, and corrections remain in place during upgrade.
