Clover is an open-source EFI bootloader capable of booting macOS, Windows, and Linux on PCs with UEFI or legacy BIOS firmware. It provides a customizable graphical boot menu with themes, ACPI table extraction and patching tools, NVRAM management, and built-in diagnostics hotkeys.
Use cases
- boot macOS on a non-Apple PC (Hackintosh)
- create a multi-boot menu for macOS, Windows, and Linux
- boot legacy BIOS systems with UEFI emulation via CloverEFI
- extract and patch OEM ACPI tables (DSDT/SSDT) for macOS compatibility
- customize the boot menu with themes, icons, and animations
- reset NVRAM or save graphics firmware from the boot GUI
When to choose
- you need to boot macOS on commodity PC hardware
- you want a single bootloader managing multiple operating systems across UEFI and legacy firmware
- you need ACPI patching and diagnostics tools accessible at boot time
When to avoid
- you only boot Linux or Windows natively and your firmware's own boot manager suffices
- you want a minimal, unconfigured bootloader with no Hackintosh-oriented features
- you need a bootloader for non-x86 platforms like ARM servers
