macOS virtualization for macOS and Linux guests, and a dedicated, hardware-accelerated runtime for Windows on ARM. Requires macOS 14 or later.
macOS host →Platforms & engines
The right guests on every host.
SlateVM runs on the computer you already have and uses that host’s native virtualization, so VMs are fast and direct. The app, the MCP tools, and the per-VM windows are the same everywhere.
Windows · x64 & ARM64
Linux, Windows
Windows’ built-in hypervisor runs Linux and Windows guests. Requires Windows 10 or 11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education.

A library to create, configure, start, and stop VMs, with live state for every machine.
Per-VM windows
Each VM runs in its own process and window, with its own desktop shortcut.
MCP
The same 46 tools and error codes for AI agents, built into the core.
Hands-off installs
Unattended Linux and Windows installs to a ready desktop with SSH.
Networking
Private NAT networking by default; bridged networking onto your LAN where the host allows it.
Updates
Signed in-app updates and one version number across platforms.
