AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAstropad has shipped a native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build since version 3.6, released in late 2020, so if you are still on an Intel-only version running under Rosetta, updating will deliver noticeably better performance on M-series Macs. The simplest path is to download the latest version directly from astropad.com — the official download page automatically serves the native build to M-series Macs. Alternatively, if your app has not auto-updated, launch Astropad, check the Help or Settings menu for an update option, and let it pull the latest release. Your existing settings, paired iPad configurations, and workspaces will carry over without manual migration.
