macOS "Support Ending for Intel‑Based Apps" warning

On Apple‑Silicon Macs, macOS may display a "Support Ending for Intel‑Based Apps" warning when launching Capture One. This does not indicate a problem with your Capture One license, and your existing license remains valid. Capture One itself is fully compatible and actively updated for current macOS versions. 

Why this happens

The warning usually appears because third‑party plugins still rely on Intel‑based code that use Rosetta. Apple has announced that macOS Tahoe 26 is the last release to support Intel‑based Macs and that Rosetta support for apps will end after macOS 27, which is why these notifications are now shown.

How to solve it

To address the warning, review any third‑party plugins or external tools used with Capture One and update them to Apple‑silicon‑compatible versions where available. If updates are not available, temporarily disabling those plugins will typically stop the warning from appearing. 

Separately from this warning, you may need to upgrade Capture One if your current version is not compatible with macOS Tahoe itself—this is a normal compatibility requirement and is not related to the Intel‑based app warning.
