TradingView ships an official desktop app for macOS as well as Windows. It runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, installs in about 2 minutes, and syncs with your existing TradingView account.
TradingView for Mac is the official macOS edition of the TradingView desktop app. It is the same application as the Windows desktop build covered elsewhere on this site, compiled for macOS. It runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 through M4) and on 64-bit Intel Macs, uses the same chart engine and account as the web app at tradingview.com, and adds the native features a browser cannot offer: independent multi-monitor windows, macOS notification-centre alerts, and lower input latency on heavy chart layouts. The app is free to install — paid TradingView plans are optional.

Functionally, no. The macOS and Windows builds of TradingView desktop share the same chart engine, the same indicators, the same account, and the same layouts. A layout you build on a Windows PC appears on your Mac and vice versa, because everything syncs through your TradingView account. The only differences are platform conventions — Gatekeeper instead of SmartScreen during install, the macOS notification centre instead of the Windows action centre for alerts, and Command-key shortcuts instead of Control-key shortcuts. If you move between a Mac and a PC, TradingView desktop behaves identically on both.
Yes. TradingView publishes an official desktop app for macOS alongside the Windows and Linux versions. It runs natively on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs, and uses the same account and chart engine as the web app.
Yes. The TradingView desktop app for macOS is free to download and install, and a free TradingView account is enough to use it. Paid plans (Essential, Plus, Premium, Ultimate) add features but the desktop app itself is not paywalled.
macOS Gatekeeper shows a warning the first time you open any newly downloaded app. Right-click the TradingView app and choose Open, then confirm — or go to System Settings, Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway. This is normal; the app is signed by TradingView Inc.
Yes. The TradingView desktop app runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 through M4) as well as Intel Macs. Performance on Apple Silicon is excellent thanks to the efficient GPU and unified memory.
