Upstream Whisky-App/Whisky was archived on 2025-05-11. This is a community-maintenance fork (EricSpencer00/Whisky) that keeps the app compiling on current macOS/Xcode and tracks new Gcenx GPTK releases. See MAINTAINING.md for scope and build instructions. Apps and games may still break; no parity promise with CrossOver.
This fork builds its own Wine directly from CodeWeavers' LGPL-published CrossOver source tree via Scripts/build-wine.sh and the BuildWine GitHub Actions workflow. Released tarballs appear under this repo's Releases (tagged wine-vX.Y.Z). Set the WHISKY_WINE_BASE_URL environment variable to point Whisky's first-run installer at the fork's release assets instead of the archived upstream CDN. Apple's GPTK / D3DMetal are not bundled (Apple's license does not permit third-party redistribution); users drop the framework into Libraries/Wine/lib/external/ themselves.
Familiar UI that integrates seamlessly with macOS
One-click bottle creation and management
Debug and profile with ease
Whisky provides a clean and easy to use graphical wrapper for Wine built in native SwiftUI. You can make and manage bottles, install and run Windows apps and games, and unlock the full potential of your Mac with no technical knowledge required. Whisky is built on top of CrossOver 22.1.1, and Apple's own Game Porting Toolkit.

- CPU: Apple Silicon (M-series chips)
- OS: macOS Sonoma 14.0 or later (this fork verified on macOS 26 / Xcode 26 / Swift 6.2)
- Install the last official release via Homebrew:
brew install --cask whisky(still works, unchanged from the archived upstream). - Build this fork from source: see MAINTAINING.md. The community fork tree on this repo carries a fix so
xcodebuildsucceeds on Xcode 26 without disabling SwiftLint. Unsigned builds only; runxattr -dr com.apple.quarantineon the resultingWhisky.appor sign with your own Developer ID.
Some games need special steps to get working. Check out the wiki.
Whisky is possible thanks to the magic of several projects:
- msync by marzent
- DXVK-macOS by Gcenx and doitsujin
- MoltenVK by KhronosGroup
- Sparkle by sparkle-project
- SemanticVersion by SwiftPackageIndex
- swift-argument-parser by Apple
- SwiftTextTable by scottrhoyt
- CrossOver 22.1.1 by CodeWeavers and WineHQ
- D3DMetal by Apple
Special thanks to Gcenx, ohaiibuzzle, and Nat Brown for their support and contributions!
