Xcodes.app is a native macOS application built with Swift/SwiftUI for installing and switching between multiple versions of Xcode with a mouse click. It automates downloads using aria2 for 3-5x faster speeds, manages Apple platform runtimes, and activates versions via xcode-select.

Use cases

  • install multiple versions of xcode on mac
  • switch between xcode versions with a click
  • download xcode faster than the app store
  • install ios and watchos runtimes for xcode
  • manage apple silicon xcode variants
  • automate xcode installation with resume on network errors

When to choose

  • you develop for Apple platforms and need multiple Xcode versions side by side
  • you want fast, resumable Xcode downloads instead of the Mac App Store
  • you need to install platform runtimes or Apple Silicon Xcode variants easily

When to avoid

  • you are not developing on macOS or for Apple platforms
  • you prefer a pure command-line workflow (use the xcodes CLI instead)
  • you cannot sign in with an Apple ID, which is required for downloads
