AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Freeplane exists and has been confirmed running on real Macs. To upgrade from the Intel version to the native build, visit the official Freeplane downloads page at sourceforge.net/projects/freeplane/files/ where you can select the Apple Silicon version directly. The native build is now available in the stable releases section (no longer preview-only), so you can download and install it as a regular update. After installation, your existing mind maps, preferences, and settings will carry over automatically. Expect noticeably faster launch times and better performance on M-series Macs with the native build compared to running under Rosetta 2.
