About:
ViableS is a sophisticated GUI application designed to simplify the creation and management of sandboxed macOS virtual machines using Apple's Virtualization Framework. It provides an intuitive interface for configuring VM parameters, enabling users to run isolated macOS environments on Apple silicon hardware with enhanced security and performance.

Key Features:

Intuitive GUI for configuring and managing macOS VMs
Sandboxed environment support for enhanced security
Native Apple silicon performance via Virtualization Framework
Simplified installation and setup process

Use Cases:

Testing beta macOS versions in an isolated environment
Developing and testing software without affecting the host system
Running legacy or incompatible applications in a separate VM

Alternatives:

UTM – More versatile with broader OS support, but ViableS offers a more streamlined experience specifically for macOS VMs
Parallels Desktop – Commercial alternative with more features but higher cost and resource usage
