Start open source. Scale when the casework does.

Every edition collects the same way: forensically sound, hash-verified, with chain-of-custody records. What changes is how much of the Mac you reach, and the help that comes with it.

Before you choose

Can I upgrade from Community later?

Any time. Evidence containers you've already collected stay compatible.

Do all editions handle disk images?

Yes. Every edition supports live collection and mounted disk images. Mount the image, then point the collector at it.

Does my evidence depend on the edition?

No. Every edition writes the same open container format, so your evidence stays readable and verifiable whichever edition you use next.

Which Macs does it run on?

Intel and Apple Silicon, macOS 12 Monterey and later, in every edition.

Start with the open-source Collector.

Install Community with Homebrew and run your first collection. Your evidence containers stay compatible as your casework grows.

$brew install macfor-io/tap/macfor
