Could we get a server app that supports apple silicon natively or is a universal binary? I am noticing that intel apps use a large amount of ram (around 500 MB) at idle, while native apps consume closer to 200mB at idle. Many thanks for considering my request.

From what I understand, apple silicon should be supported. We have a handful of users utilizing m1 macs. Is there a specific issue you are having or just high memory utilization?

It is working with rosetta, just high RAM usage. I was wondering if I could somehow build it myself for native apple silicon or if you could release an apple silicon binary.

According to this article, it hopefully should just be a buid configuration: https://www.electronjs.org/blog/apple-silicon

I'm quite unfamiliar with npm, yarn, & electron, so do you think you can try changing this parameter & rebuilding? Thanks in advance. I'd be happy to test for bugs in the m1 version if you'd like.

Sorry, I was away last week and havent had a chance to rebuild it. It seems like I know what to do, but just need to implement it. I'll include the build in the next release of the app. Are you ok with that?

Yeah, that would be great! Should I close this now or after the update? Thanks.

@anonymousaga so I was able to build for arm64 (apple silicon), however, I have a few things to note:

  1. Would you be willing to test it?
  2. binaries that we rely on such as ngrok or cloudflare may or may not work (untested). But maybe you can help test.

Yes, i would be willing to test. I use ngrok for the app.

Any updates? This was 1.5 years ago and it's still being distributed as intel only.

I think I would need an Apple Silicon mac to build it, and I don't have one
