Q: Memory claim false on Mac
I looked at this and seeing your 10 mb memory usage claim made me very interested. I really need something lightweight. But when running your app on Apple Silicon Sequoia 15.5 it uses 275-297 mb without anything running. Quite far from the 10 mb you on Windows show here:

So what language is the Mac port developed in?

Jun 12, 2025A: Hi! 👋 Thanks for the comment, I have now added a clarification under the diagram that "Comparison performed on Windows 10 64-bit". But within the article itself, in the second paragraph, it was already indicated that this comparison was conducted on Windows 10...
Yes, on macOS NativeRest uses more memory. NativeRest for macOS uses the FireMonkey (FMX) framework. 💪 Unfortunately on macOS I don't have the ability to achieve the same low memory consumption as on Windows.

Postman uses less than 200 mb: https://share.zight.com/mXu4Xn22

Ok, thanks for the screenshots. Yes, these applications have very different frameworks, so there is a difference in memory too.

Ok, thanks for the quick response! Any plans on further optimizing the memory use on Mac, or it will remain where it is?
NativeRest memory usage on macOS will likely remain at its current level. I don't have any options to significantly reduce it.

Thank you for purchasing NativeRest. 🙌
