CrossOver for Mac

Run Windows Software on Your Mac Without a Traditional Virtual Machine

CrossOver for Mac offers a different approach to running Windows software on macOS.

Instead of installing a complete Windows operating system inside a virtual machine, CrossOver is designed to help compatible Windows applications run directly alongside your Mac applications.

This can be a practical solution for Mac users who need access to specific Windows software without setting up a separate Windows installation or rebooting their computer.

Use Your Mac and Windows Applications Side by Side

With CrossOver, supported Windows applications can run within your existing macOS environment.

That means you can continue using your regular Mac workflow while accessing compatible Windows software when you need it.

CrossOver is designed for users who:

• Use macOS as their primary operating system
• Need access to specific Windows applications
• Want to avoid installing a complete Windows operating system
• Prefer an alternative to a traditional virtual machine
• Use either Intel-based or Apple Silicon Macs

A Different Alternative to Virtual Machines

Traditional virtualization software creates a separate virtual computer where another operating system can be installed.

CrossOver works differently. It is designed to run supported Windows applications without requiring a separate Windows installation for those applications.

This can make it an attractive option when you only need access to particular Windows programs rather than a complete Windows desktop environment.

Important Compatibility Information

CrossOver does not guarantee compatibility with every Windows application or game.

Before purchasing, we strongly recommend checking whether the specific Windows software you intend to use is compatible with CrossOver.

Compatibility can vary depending on the application, CrossOver version, macOS version and your Mac hardware.

Mac Compatibility

CrossOver for Mac supports Intel-based Macs and Apple Silicon Macs.

Current system requirements include a compatible Intel or Apple Silicon Mac running macOS, along with at least 1 GB of available disk space for CrossOver itself. Additional storage space is required for the Windows applications you install.

CrossOver is designed for Mac computers and does not run on iPhone or iPad.
