The Logos Desktop Team has tested Logos 9 and Logos 8 on macOS 11 "Big Sur." So far we discovered some minor styling issues (see below), but have not encountered any major issues.

My M1 MacBook Air should arrive today. Can't wait to see how it goes...

Keep me updated! My purchase hinges on Logos capabilities.

Great. Looking forward to hearing about Logos on it. I consider Logos 9 my early Christmas present, but a new Mac has been on my delayed wishlist for some time.

The reviews are pretty crazy. Crazy good, that is. https://gizmodo.com/the-macbook-air-was-a-fine-laptop-but-apples-m1-chip-m-1845671122

I'm on a new M1 MB Air currently. Just downloaded Logos and it won't open. I'll update as I can troubleshoot further.
Hold tight, waiting for install Rosetta to install, duh :)

I am assuming you are enjoying the experience so much you forgot to update us?! :)
More. ArsTechnica can get fairly technical. They've been looking at the M1, and say "If Apple's M1 isn't the fastest single-thread—and quad-thread—consumer-available processor on the planet, it certainly isn't missing it by much."https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/11/hands-on-with-the-apple-m1-a-seriously-fast-x86-competitor/
I realize that the new chip probably won't do anything much to help rev up indexing, but I would love to find out it does.
On the other hand, if you don't need all the speed of the M1, you can get some good deals on Intel Macs these days! For example, Apple has some great prices on refurbished early 2020 MacBook Airs.
I'm running Verbum 9 on one of those Airs with Big Sur and an i3 (yes, an i3) chip, and I'm satisfied with the performance. Even on the i3, Big Sur feels a little quicker than Catalina.
Sure, I'm curious about the M1, but I thought I'd toss in a different angle, just because!
Actually, it probably will. It has higher memory bandwidth and much faster storage than anything else out there. Those are critical for indexing.

I am doing a fresh install in an M1 Mini right now. Currently downloading my library of some 7000 resources. I will time how long indexing takes, and update later.

I'm afraid not, but that's probably because the chip throttles down to keep heat under control. An iMac or MacBook Pro with fans might index much faster.

No throttling here on my Mac Mini. Currently 20% into a full indexing of 6,700 resources. 25 minutes in.
Throttling really only applies to the new Air which is fanless.

What is the CPU for Logos in Activity Monitor during indexing?
Peaking at over 400%
Total time to index was about 1.5 hours.

Actually some pretty serious stress tests by reviewers showed no throttling at all.
Try this one that shows 15% throttling
