Why does macOS warn that Doxie “includes a component that will not work with a future release”?

This macOS notice is expected, and nothing is wrong. Your Doxie app is working normally and will keep working normally.

The Doxie desktop app is a Universal app – it already runs natively on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4…) and Intel Macs. One piece inside the app hasn’t made the jump yet: the OCR engine, the component that makes the text in your scans searchable. It’s still Intel-only, so on an Apple Silicon Mac it runs through Apple’s built-in compatibility layer, Rosetta. That single component is what macOS is flagging with its “…will not work with a future release of macOS” notice.

The app itself is already native, and the OCR engine – the last piece we’re bringing over – keeps working exactly as it does now. Rosetta continues through macOS 27, so nothing changes until at least macOS 28 (expected late 2027). There’s nothing you need to do in the short to medium term – you can safely dismiss the macOS notice and keep scanning as usual.

We’re planning to release an updated version of the Doxie app with a fully Universal OCR engine at a future date. Per company policy, we can’t commit to specific features or timing of unreleased software – but when it’s ready, you’ll be able to install it right from the app, the same way you always update Doxie.
