VirtualBuddy runs macOS 12+ and ARM-based Linux virtual machines on Apple Silicon, automatically downloading or using custom IPSW/ISO images. It offers APFS-based snapshots, file and clipboard sharing, recovery mode, and beta device support via Xcode packages. You can customize hardware, save VM states, and build the app from source with Xcode 16.
- VirtualBuddy lets you run macOS 12+ and ARM Linux VMs on Apple Silicon, including beta OS versions, without extra physical hardware.
- Running newer beta hosts (like macOS 26) requires VirtualBuddy 2.2 beta 2+ and device support files pulled from Xcode 27 beta or Apple's developer portal.
- APFS cloning (Command+D in Finder) lets you duplicate VMs almost for free in disk space, making it easy to snapshot and reset a clean environment.
- File sharing/clipboard sync work via the VirtualBuddyGuest app, with virtiofs mounting required manually for shared folders on macOS 13+ hosts.
