Framework Detector

中文 | English

Framework Detector is a powerful and elegant macOS application built with SwiftUI that helps you quickly identify the CPU architectures of your installed applications and command-line tools.

✨ Features

• Deep Architecture Detection: Instantly know if an app is compiled for Intel, Apple Silicon, or Universal.
• Package Manager Support: Seamlessly scans software installed via Homebrew and MacPorts, resolving symlinks to inspect the actual Mach-O binaries.
• Dynamic Hardware Icons: The Apple Silicon icon dynamically adapts to match your current Mac model (MacBook, Mac mini, Mac Studio, iMac, Mac Pro).
• Multi-language Support: Fully localized in English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
• Auto-Updates: Integrated with Sparkle for seamless, automatic OTA updates.
• Quick Actions: Right-click any app or package to reveal it in Finder or copy its path.
