I use the latest Postgres 14 installed via brew in the standard configuration. From time to time (every second or third week) I use to reboot the Mac and since several weeks now (the last 4 reboots at least) I lose data of the database when rebooting and I fall back to a state of several days ahead of the reboot. This affects structure and data added. I cover this via backups and it looks that data is kept in memory rather than written to the database. Beside this Mac and Postgres run fine.

Hmm, what have you got the fsync and wal_sync_method GUCs set to?
What was the last macOS version that was stable for you?
