About

Samsung Magician Software is Samsung’s utility for managing its consumer storage products. The macOS installer is available through this Homebrew cask, which downloads Samsung’s official package and launches its manual installer.

  • Samsung says Magician is designed to work with Samsung memory products, including internal SSDs, portable SSDs, memory cards, and USB flash drives.
  • Samsung says Magician integrates Samsung Data Migration Software, Samsung Portable SSD Software, and Memory Card/UFD Authentication Utility.
  • Samsung notes that supported features can vary with drives from other manufacturers and Samsung OEM drives; the product is presented for consumer storage.

To get started, run brew install --cask samsung-magician, then complete the downloaded package’s installer. This installation requires a kernel extension. If installation fails, the cask instructions say to allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security and retry. A reboot is required for installation to take effect.
