A modern and adventurous re-imagining of a macOS frontend for QEMU, originally created by Jean-David Gadina (XS-Labs). This project is designed for users familiar with virtualization, emulation, and QEMU’s extensive feature set. The UI has been refreshed, but the tool proudly remains power-user oriented. ⚙️
- Fresh Codebase: Deprecated or redundant pieces have been removed and replaced with clean, modern Swift.
- Feature-Rich: Hypervisor Framework integration, UEFI boot, USB, advanced networking, and more.
- Broad Architecture Support: From classic m68k Mac systems to Windows 11 ARM—ideal for both retro-computing enthusiasts and cutting-edge testers.
- Enhanced UI: Smoother and more intuitive while still relying on Cocoa. Not fully HIG-compliant, but far more pleasant to use.
- Bundled QEMU: No system-wide installation required—comes with an up-to-date QEMU ready to run out-of-the-box. 📦
- Steep Learning Curve: New to QEMU? Expect complexity. This app favors transparency over abstraction.
- Evolving UI: Improved, but still in active refinement. Feedback is welcome! 💬
