There are no current plans but never say never (the app is 100% AppKit, so porting means a full rewrite).

I wish I had the time to port it to all three desktop OSes.

as a noob Swift dev (Swiftie?) , why AppKit over SwiftUI? Maturity of former?

As jamil7 noted, Monodraw predates SwiftUI by about 4yrs.

But more importantly, my priority is delivering the best user experience and that's where AppKit shines.
