Here’s a project worth checking out in this context: GitHub - holgerkrupp/Scan: ScanSnap S1500M App for macOS26+ · GitHub

The Xcode project explicitly sets EXCLUDED_ARCHS = x86_64, so it builds only for arm64.
On an M-series Mac you do not need Rosetta.

  1. Requirements
  • Apple Silicon Mac
  • Latest Xcode
  • Free Apple Developer account (Apple ID)
  1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/holgerkrupp/Scan.git
cd Scan
  1. Set up code signing
  • Copy the example config:
cp Config/Local.xcconfig.example Config/Local.xcconfig
  • Open Config/Local.xcconfig and set your Team ID:
DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = YOUR_TEAM_ID

(Find your Team ID in Xcode → Settings → Accounts)

  1. Build & run
  • Open Scan.xcodeproj in Xcode
  • Select the Scan scheme
  • Press ⌘R (Run)

The app will launch. Connect your Fujitsu/ScanSnap scanner via USB, create a profile, and start scanning.

Note: Quit ScanSnap Home (or Manager) completely before using this app (its background process locks the USB interface).

ScanSnap Home v4.1.0 which supports macOS has been released. It is a Universal app, supporting Silicon and Intel. Open ScanSnap Home, and look for the Update command in the Help menu.
