System requirements
Check that your Mac can run Hailo before you download it.
Hailo is a Mac app. It needs a recent macOS, enough memory to analyze a wedding, and fast storage for footage.
Requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Computer | A Mac |
| macOS | 12 (Monterey) or later |
| Processor | Apple silicon (M-series) recommended. Intel Macs work, but footage analysis and film building take longer |
| Memory | 16 GB minimum. More helps when you offload and analyze a full wedding at once |
| Storage | A fast external SSD or a large internal drive for footage. Hailo indexes footage where it is and does not copy it, so a project takes the same space with or without Hailo, plus a small folder of working files |
| Internet | Needed for Manage, Deliver, signing in, sending email and publishing galleries. Not needed for an analysis that is already running |
| Editor | Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve for opening what Hailo builds |
Not supported
- Windows
- Linux
- iPad or iPhone
- macOS 11 or earlier
Optional permissions
Hailo works without any special macOS permission. Two are offered later, and both are optional:
| Permission | Why Hailo asks | If you decline |
|---|---|---|
| Automation (control Finder) | To move an older copy of Hailo to the Trash after an update | Hailo shows you where the older copy is and you drag it yourself |
| Screen Recording (for the menu bar timer) | To read the name of the project open in your editor | Editing time still counts, without a project name |
