Windows, Linux and Android, side by side with your Mac
Pick a system and VM Boss downloads it from its maker and gets it running. There’s nothing else to install.
For Macs with Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later. Linux is free; Pro adds Windows, Android and more.
Set up for you
Each system runs on the engine that suits it, at native speed on Apple silicon.
Windows 11
Microsoft’s download page opens inside VM Boss. Pick a language, and VM Boss downloads Windows, installs it and signs you in. The display follows your window.
14 Linux distributions
Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, openSUSE, Kali, Parrot, NixOS, deepin, AlmaLinux, Rocky, CentOS Stream, Void, Gentoo and Alpine: 34 versions, straight from each project, or your own ISO.
Android and iPhone
The newest Android with Google Play on Google’s emulator, downloaded for you, and iPhone and iPad devices from Xcode’s Simulator, for testing your apps.
Everyday tools
Suspend and resume, snapshots, instant clones, a menu bar extra, and vmctl for the command line.
A new machine in a few clicks
Pick a system, then a version. VM Boss downloads it with a progress bar, sizes the machine and starts it. Windows installs itself; Linux opens its installer.
Free for Linux. Pro for everything else.
