## What it is
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 It offers one-click bottle creation and management with a clean macOS-integrated UI, but is no longer actively maintained.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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
