MacVM is an example Swift application demonstrating how to virtualize macOS on Apple Silicon Macs using the Virtualization framework introduced in macOS Monterey. It provides a GUI for configuring, installing, and running macOS virtual machines on M1 hosts.
Use cases
- run a macOS virtual machine on Apple Silicon
- learn how to use the Virtualization framework in Swift
- test software in a macOS VM on an M1 Mac
- create a macOS VM from an ipsw restore file
When to choose
- you have an Apple Silicon Mac and want to run macOS guests
- you want a reference implementation of the Virtualization API
When to avoid
- you need to virtualize Linux or Windows guests
- you need a production-grade VM manager with snapshots and advanced features
- you are on an Intel Mac
