Oddly, if you go to the Dev website, what downloads is v1.0.1, which BOMBS on M-Series Macs. Thankfully, v1.2.0 downloaded from MU works fine. That's good, because Apple's hobbled and blundering (IMHO of course) Spotlight can use all the help it can get. I hate Spotlight! BUT also notice that Flashlight hasn't been updated since 2019. As such, good luck having it recompiled to be ARM native. We can dream.

There is no version 1.1.0. The latest version is Version 1.0.1 and it was released in 2015. The GitHub page shows no changes in 2 years and says it's no longer maintained. No idea where MacUpdate got this "update" from.
