## What it is
Wineskin is a modernized macOS application for wrapping Windows software and games in Wine so they run as native-looking Mac apps. It supports macOS 10.15.4+ and integrates DirectX translation layers such as WineD3D, DXVK, D9VK, VKD3D, and Apple's D3DMetal.

## Use cases
- run windows games on mac
- wrap a windows exe into a mac app
- play directx 11 games on macos
- install wine on apple silicon mac
- port windows software to macos without a vm
- use dxvk or d3dmetal on mac

## When to choose
- you want to run Windows games or apps on macOS 10.15.4+ without a virtual machine
- you need DirectX 9-12 translation via DXVK, VKD3D, or D3DMetal
- you want self-contained Wine wrappers instead of a shared Wine prefix

## When to avoid
- you are on an AMD-based Hackintosh, which cannot run 32-bit code
- you need to run Windows software on Linux or Windows itself
- you require commercial licensing of D3DMetal, which Apple restricts to non-commercial use
