Whisky is a native SwiftUI graphical wrapper around Wine and Apple's Game Porting Toolkit for running Windows apps and games on Apple Silicon Macs. It offers one-click bottle creation and management with a clean macOS-integrated UI, but is no longer actively maintained.

Use cases

  • run windows games on mac
  • play cyberpunk 2077 on apple silicon
  • create and manage wine bottles with a gui
  • run windows apps on macos without terminal
  • use game porting toolkit without compiling
  • debug wine games on mac

When to choose

  • you want a free, native macOS GUI for Wine on Apple Silicon
  • you need quick setup for Windows games via Game Porting Toolkit
  • you're okay with unmaintained software that may break

When to avoid

  • you need ongoing support and updates - use CrossOver instead
  • you run an Intel Mac or macOS older than Sonoma 14
  • you need guaranteed compatibility with new games or macOS versions
