Nice ! Runs even better than my temporary solution before (running Figma as isolated Chrome/Brave WebApp and thereby using the ARM architecture - Intel was still required though for the Font connector).
Yet this has been cool as well, as with an isolated Web App you are able to create multiple instances for multiple projects and from Apple Spotlight search find the Figma Workspace you want to work in right away (and pretty much everything else). Saves navigating in Figma itself and allows focussing on projects separately without always having 10 Tabs in Figma open. Maybe some valuable input for future product development.
also as an added bonus, Figma Agent was still running even though I previously uninstalled Figma, so I made sure to Force Quit that in Activity Monitor. Now everything is running on Apple Silicon. Thanks
Hi poiru, I was able to install figma by logging into administrator account. I’m actually on standard account, I can install most applications in standard account but for some reason I was unable to install Figma, it would never ask the admin uname & password and the installation would just fail.
Was able to fix it by logging into administrator account and installing it there. Not sure if this was Figma’s problem or Apple’s.
Hey @Josh,
How is this different from the Intel build? I’m asking this because I look in the Activity Monitor, Figma still has Intel under the Kind column. Moreover, on the download page, do you automatically identify what type of computer I have? Because there’s just one zip file.
LE: looks like I was wrong. @Lorand_Koncz
I needed to completely remove the app that I was using and installed the new one. Now everything (except FigmaAgent) is on Apple (kind column from Activity Monitor)
