Summary

As long as there is no universal app for macOS (keepassxreboot/keepassxc#6049) please consider offering Intel + Arm builds side by side to avoid confusion for mac users.

Context

The transition to Apple Silicon is ongoing and will be a thing for a long time. It can be considered finished, once all macOS versions that still support Intel macs are no longer supported by KeePassXC, which will be much further down the road.

The current website implementation is a problem since e.g. Firefox or Safari don't communicate processor architecture to make fingerprinting users harder I guess. So when visiting https://keepassxc.org/download/#macos and clicking download the arm version is downloaded which cannot be used on an Intel mac.

Example

This is how Mixxx solved this issue on https://mixxx.org/download/#testing
