PlayCover is a macOS application that runs iOS apps and games natively on Apple Silicon Macs by wrapping them to imitate an iPad. It adds custom touch-to-keyboard/mouse/controller keymapping, originally built to run Genshin Impact.
Use cases
- run iOS games on Apple Silicon Mac
- play Genshin Impact on Mac
- map touch controls to keyboard and mouse
- sideload iOS apps on macOS
- use a controller with iOS games on Mac
When to choose
- you have an Apple Silicon (M-series) Mac running macOS 12+
- you want native performance rather than emulation
- you need keyboard/mouse/controller keymapping for iOS games
When to avoid
- you have an Intel Mac
- your specific app or game is not supported or is buggy
- you need official App Store distribution or guaranteed compatibility
