Description
Hi there! I noticed that Keybase is showing up in my list of "Apps Using Significant Energy" on macOS Sierra. I looked in the Activity Monitor, and it shows one of its helper processes requires the high performance GPU. Is this actually necessary, and is there anything that can be done to change that?
Thanks!
