About the project

A native macOS app and CLI that sets up Wine, DXMT, D3DMetal and DXVK to run Windows games on Apple Silicon, using an open compatibility database to show what actually works.

Useful for
  • Check the compatibility database to see if a specific game runs before downloading tens of gigabytes
  • Install Steam or connect an Epic library via Legendary inside a prepared Wine environment
  • Build the engine and environment from the terminal with CLI commands and file a game run report to the database

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
