400MB for the standalone application last I checked, and that was after the newest upgrades that should make it better IIRC.
That is about 5% on a 8GB machine, and typically a much larger procent of the available RAM once you realize that a lot of those 8GBs are used by the OS and possibly other necessary processes.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoTell me if it stays at 400MB after a day of use. EDIT: Thanks for the data points. It's better than I expected.
- sokoloff 7y agoMine is 118.8 + 125.6 + 182.5 MB = 426.9 MB after about a day and a half.
- matwood 7y agoMy Slack app on MacOS has been up for awhile. Current usage is 197+183+132 = 512MB. Much better than before, but still not small.
- eitland 7y ago400MB is still a lot IMO. You obviously know this but for youngest people on HN: Back in the 90ies we could run Autocad on PCs with 512 MB. It was slow but it was possible.
