Just wondering. If you're building something from the ground up, why not make it Universal?

This app is now not optimized for Apple's M1/M2 and future processors.

  Thanks for the feedback Bodi

  Unfortunately 'Universal' is not as Universal as people would like to think. We try to avoid locking older macOS systems and other platforms too until absolutely necessary. That being said, I have passed your feedback along to our Product Development Team.

  Hi Tony,

  A Universal binary runs on both Silicon and Intel chips. So you don't lock any users out.

  I also wonder why you after so long time don't have a universal binary. A universal binary would include versions both for Intel and Apple silicon. Time to adapt to the future of Mac and support Apple silicon natively!
