mac lacks a proper native bt client based on libtorrent.

the closest to a native expirience is our modded build of qBittorrent, wich is based on bogus qt

would be really nice if you made a mac client

Why do you need this? qBittorrent works fine on macOS. It's additional overhead for development without any measurable profits.

there is iTransmission, which has the cleanest native look for a torrent client that I've seen:

Sideloadly allows you to sideload this on to a mac.

libransmission is very slow compared to libtorrent

You can use qBitTorrent, I’m using this torrent on my Mac and also as a reference for several features in iTorrent

Yes, we've even made a fork of it with vit9696 so that it is not so eyebleeding, but it suffers greatly from qt and being multiplatform.

Hence the initial query about making your fine app native for mac.

If you'll see how iTorrent looks like on Mac, you'll need an eyes surgery :D
Touch screen UI looks not the best way on desktops, but if you REALLY want to see this, here you go:
iTorrent-Mac.zip
It's compiled in "Designed for iPad" mode and as you understand, it was not optimised at all

Btw, my proficiency is mobile (iOS) development, I never developed apps for desktops (Macs) and I have no idea about good and bad practices in UI/UX in that part
