Verified issue does not already exist?
What happened?
The desktop app for macOS has not been compiled for Apple Silicon (arm64). This makes the app very slow and sluggish on Apple Silicon devices, as it is having to be compiled by Rosetta 2 to work on arm64. Because the app is written in Electron, it should be able to be compiled for Apple Silicon macOS devices (like Slack is). It would be nice to have a separate arm64 macOS build, or even better, a universal app that works for both Intel and Apple Silicon devices.
(Kind should be "Universal" or "Apple Silicon")
You can find a guide for how to do this here.

Thank you - I wondered why it was so slow to launch (when the web app is almost instant)!

@MikesGlitch I'll give this a shot later today!

I gave it a short try and it seems to work really well. Startup was very quick too.

Thanks. I downloaded the wrong version. Improved startup from 20 seconds(!) to 2 seconds by downloading the arm64 👍
