I also wish it had a native application. For my previous job I had to work on an 8GB Mac. Using Slack with 8 or so teams ate just short of 2GB. The solution was to start opening 1 or 2 teams in the browser at a time. One of the nice things about chat is being able to rapidly and immediately communicate, not being able to have my teams open all the time defeated that. I ended up running a ZNC server on AWS for persistent IRC connections to the Slack channels. This allowed me to have 8 teams open and be connected to a dozen IRC channels for under 2MB of RAM.
