  Yes, they basically got the ios native version to also run for macs [0]. The perks of apple silicon I guess. It is a bit ironic how going to ARM architecture initially was initially thought of a burden for developpers having to maintain both x86 and ARM versions, while as it turns out, for those who target both ios and macos it makes it easier. I am not sure if the old electron-based whatsapp is still available, maybe the one from the website, vs the one from app store, is still electron?

Figma has an app? Wouldn't count chrome.

  Yeah, the Figma desktop version is basically just a wrapper. It's okay but not super useful.

Very funny to call Chrome an electron app. For the sake of words meaning things, it isn't one. Althought Electron uses the same core components as Chrome, the Chrome UI is not built with Electron.

strange, Teams is not on my list. Maybe you are not using "(new) teams (for business and school) v2 (new)"

Damn it I thought I had done then I remembered WhatsApp desktop. And then there were Tuta, Dropbox, BitWarden, ente - all turned up and all of them using outdated f/w as well. Then I wondered - is WhatsApp Electron based? Not only it didn't turn up in the script result, I had heard they migrated to Catalyst and have the same iOS app running on Mac. Isn't that so?

VS Code I have but never use, Discord I have, Teams only on work machine, and Signal. Man I'm not doing too bad! I prefer Zed over VS Code, or just flat out Visual Studio proper (2026 has gotten snappy!), as for Slack, I rarely use it, but I can use the browser, they are forcing non-profits out of Slack and into Discord anyway.
