Amazon Workspaces provides secure, cloud-native persistent desktop virtualization for macOS.

This client application serves as the secure gateway to provisioned WorkSpaces, delivering a responsive desktop experience over the internet.
Key Features:
  • Secure access to cloud-hosted Windows desktops from macOS
  • Persistent desktop environments with integrated AWS services
  • Optimized display protocol for responsive remote performance
  • Support for multiple WorkSpace profiles and seamless switching
Use Cases:
  • Running Windows-only enterprise applications on a Mac
