Overview
WineBottler for Mac allows users to bottle Windows applications as Mac apps! WineBottler packages Windows-based programs like browsers, media-players, games or business applications snugly into Mac app-bundles.
- Your company provides you with a login, mail, calendar and contacts that only work on certain browsers?
- You quickly want to test your websites in Windows-based browsers.
- You want to play games, that are not ported to macOS?
- Your online trading platform or accounting tool only runs on Windows?
- Your audio book player is not available on macOS?
No need to install emulators, virtualizers or boot into other operating systems – the app runs your Windows-based programs directly on your Mac. This is possible thanks to a Windows-compatible subsystem, which is provided by the great OpenSource tool Wine.
Select from a wide range of software for which WineBottler for macOS offers automated installations. It is as easy as hitting "Install" – and Wine Bottler will leave you with a neat app on your desktop. The tool does not come with the programs themselves, but with scripts, that take care of downloading, configuring and installing everything into an app for you.
Double-click your .exe or .msi and convert it into an app with WineBottler. You can run the generated app like every other program on your Mac. For advanced users, Wine Bottler for Mac gives you a selection of options: install special dependencies and even turn your .exe into a self-contained app - that is an app, that contains everything to run it... even on other Macs. Porting to OS X never was easier.
Note: Requires Wine and 64-bit processor.
