The releases page lists universal, arm64, and x64 variants for macOS without much context, so users on macOS often don't know which file they need. Add a small table to the README's macOS section: - universal.dmg (works on any Mac) as the safe default - arm64.dmg for Apple Silicon - x64.dmg for Intel Also point at Apple menu > About This Mac for identifying the chip, and note the .zip files are the same app in a different container.
