Not sure if it's appropriate to do this, but I'd like to second the request. Hopefully, implementing this is not too time or resource consuming. ARM chips are pretty efficient. I crunch for Rosetta project, but they have seemed to lack ARM tasks lately, so if SiDock had some available, I'd be glad to contribute.

As far as i know an official ARM app is in the making. But it is not top priority because there are a lot of other things to do right now (like checkpointing).

For the Raspberry there are official cmdock ARM32 linux binaries avalble on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/Jukic/cmdock/-/releases.

I got it to work on my Rasperry Pi 4B : https://www.sidock.si/sidock/show_host_detail.php?hostid=2358 and Raspberry 3B+ https://www.sidock.si/sidock/show_host_detail.php?hostid=8318 . As you can see the computers have credit. I just stopped crunching
because i wait for smaller workunits and/or checkpointing (Runtime of Eprot WUs are up to two days on a Pi 4, Pi 3B+ won´t make the deadline). You have to compile the Boinc wrapper for ARM from official sources and tinker with the app_info.xml and job.xml settings (Anonymous Platform https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Anonymous_platform and Wrapper https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/WrapperApp) to get it to work.

Or you just wait. :-)

For Mac M1 I don´t know.
