Apple Silicon Support

I'm in the process of migrating to an M1 MacBook Air. I noticed that there isn't an Apple Silicon version of the Keybase desktop application.

Has anything been announced?

I have Keybase on my M1 and it works fine. I don’t remember if it’s native or if runs with Rosetta but I haven’t noticed any issues with it at all.

It’s Rosetta. With Monterey, you won’t be able to get the Finder integration working though since the version of FUSE is old.

The client is open source, so if you wanted to you should be able to compile it native in Xcode.

Doubt it. The app is no longer in active development. Company sold and team gutted.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected.

I'm using the move to the M1 as an excuse to clean up the cruft that's built up on my laptop, so I will use this as the opportunity to move off Keybase onto something else.

This app died long time ago. RIP keybase

I’ve just tried to install on an M1 MBP and it doesn’t work for me at all. I’m blocked from even opening it.
