Here’s the full release notes:
SMART Utility is fully compatible with Intel Macs running Monterey. This includes the external driver!
However, for M1 Macs running Monterey, it should be compatible but not the external driver.
This information is way later than it should have been!
SMART Utility is fully compatible with Intel Macs running Big Sur. This includes the external driver! It was fully compatible by Beta 10, and the initial release (11.0) was the same.
Both SMART Utility and the external driver were also tested on 11.1, 11.2, and now 11.3, and the compatibility remains. The only issue that arises is on reboot, you may have to unplug and replug in any external drives to get them to show up.
However, for M1 Macs running Big Sur, it should be compatible but not the external driver. We just received our first M1 Mac here (a Mac Mini) so we will be testing soon.
Likely it will require version 4.0 to be native, based on some code we need to update. That should be released soon however!
SEE NEW POST FOR UPDATED INFORMATION
Currently SMART Utility is fully compatible with Mac OS 11.0 Big Sur (Beta 9). That should not change with the release version.
However, the SAT SMART Driver is not compatible. In prior Beta versions it would crash the Mac. However, in Beta 9 that did not happen. Nonetheless, it is still recommended to remove it before upgrading to Big Sur by running these in the Terminal:
sudo rm -r /Library/Extensions/SATSMARTDriver.kext
sudo rm -r /Library/Extensions/SATSMARTLib.pluginThe driver is a third party driver and has not been actively developed in some time. Look for an update here about the future of that driver.
Any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Some great news! Made great progress with the external SMART driver. Getting it signed and notarized was a ton of fun.
However, currently the driver doesn’t automatically load, so need to figure that out. Hopefully have a fully 10.15 compatible version out soon!
PS. Once this is done, work will continue on version 4, so new features (and new purchases!) can happen.
