JetBrains has shipped a native Apple Silicon build of PyCharm since version 2020.3.1, released in late 2020, so if you are still running an Intel-only version under Rosetta you will see noticeably better performance and battery life after updating. The native build is available as a separate installer from the main download page. Visit jetbrains.com/pycharm/download and click the download button next to "macOS" — you will see a dropdown menu that defaults to Intel. Change the dropdown to "Apple Silicon" to get the native build (the file will be named pycharm-*-aarch64.dmg). Alternatively, if you use the JetBrains Toolbox App to manage your IDEs, launch Toolbox, click the PyCharm icon in the menu bar, and select "Available versions" to switch to the Apple Silicon build — Toolbox will handle the installation automatically. If you have an existing PyCharm installation running via Rosetta, note that simply checking for updates within the IDE may not switch you to the native build; you will need to download and install the Apple Silicon version manually using one of the methods above, as the native and Intel builds are treated as separate installers. After installation, your existing projects, preferences and plugins carry over without manual migration.
