About:
UTM is a full-featured system emulator and virtual machine manager for Apple devices. It leverages QEMU to provide robust emulation of various architectures including x86_64, ARM64, and RISC-V. The application offers a native, intuitive interface for configuring and running virtualized operating systems directly on macOS, iOS, and visionOS.
Key Features:
  • Supports over 30 processor architectures including x86_64, ARM64, and RISC-V
  • Native macOS user interface with seamless integration and hardware acceleration
  • JIT-based emulation for high performance without requiring jailbreaks
  • Full system emulation and para-virtualization for multiple guest OS types
Use Cases:
  • Running Windows, Linux, or older macOS versions on Apple Silicon Macs
  • Software development and testing across different CPU architectures
  • Playing retro games or using legacy x86-only applications
Alternatives:
  • Parallels Desktop – Commercial, paid solution focused on high-performance virtualization with deep macOS integration, but lacks the free/open-source nature and broad architecture support of UTM.
  • VirtualBox – Cross-platform and free, but lacks native Apple Silicon support and has a less polished experience on macOS compared to UTM.
