New desktop ARM beta for Apple Silicon users!

It’s WAYYYYY smoother than the Rosetta app. Thank you for finally releasing it!

Damn that’s smooth! now get back to the old logo, thank you! besides that, it freaking awesome 🚀🚀🚀

but still, its taking up wayyy to much memory! you gotta keep working on memory efficiency. my air only has 8 and is swapping like CRAZYY!

Are you able to repro the memory usage in Chrome with the exact same tabs open that you have in the desktop app? Unfortunately this build won’t necessarily be any more efficient in terms of memory usage.

i am not using chrome, hence I can’t talk on that. but I hope that you somehow manage to optimize for better memory usage in future versions! for example that final build. Till then, best of luck and thank you for at least releasing the beta just in time!

Very exciting! Thank you … it’s using about 3GBs less memory across the various tasks so that’s a huge improvement. Launches faster. Can’t wait to put it through it’s paces tomorrow.

It looks like Figma Agent is still Intel-based. Any plans to recompile it as well, since it’s just a simple file watcher?

Yep, the agent will be natively compiled in time for the stable release.

What about the iPad app? When will it be?

WOWWWW 🔥🔥🔥 Very exciting! Thank you …

Internet is forbidden in my company！I wish the desktop version can be used offline！

agree！！！！ 🥰

You can see alternative app - figurative

Here are my stats for the new version. It feels way faster than the previous beta app and stable version. Right now it’s consuming around 3Gb of ram. Is this the expected result?

1 file opened (12 pages)

Hopefully this is useful! Thanks

Hi @Fede_Sanchez! It would be super helpful if you could compare the memory usage of Figma.app (Intel) and Figma Beta (Apple Silicon) with the exact same files open. Can you try that?

Sure! Here are the stats for the Intel app (same file, same page)

Smoooooooth and working fine. It is going to very cool

Finally. It’s so much faster on large files.

Deleted the stable release in a heartbeat. Will reinstall when it’s on apple silicon.

figurative is not stable on large files, too many reloads

Just FYI, we published an update (98.9.0) on the beta channel with an ARM version of the agent. You should get the update within the next few hours.

What a smooth performance! Although it forces me to double-click pages to navigate, is that a bug or intentional nuance? Thanks?

What’s new in 98.10 release?

Yes, it works (98.10).

Just a note for other users, if you had Intel based regular Figma installed before and you still see agent as Intel, you need to do a couple of steps:

1. Close all Figma versions (regular and beta if you have both)
2. Delete entire Figma folder from Application Support /Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Figma
3. Reopen Apple Silicon Figma which will recreate Figma folder inside Application Support

Now make sure in Activity Indicator that all Figma related processes are Apple Silicon.

Official support for Apple Silicon is here: 🍎 Desktop App for Apple Silicon (M1) is here!

Awesome! Yeahhh just in time for my m1 imac arriving 🙌
