Run iOS apps natively on your Mac

PearSilicon is a native iOS compatibility layer for macOS. It installs an .ipa or .app bundle, launches it as a real window, and turns your keyboard and mouse into real touches.

Free & open source · Apple Silicon · macOS 26 or later · v0.1.5

One-click install

Drop in an .ipa or .app bundle and PearSilicon unpacks it, prepares it for macOS and signs it. No terminal, no setup.

Play with your keyboard

Map keys to taps, holds, joysticks, mouse-look and swipes with a simple drag-and-drop editor.

Real multi-touch

Your input becomes true, simultaneous touches through the platform’s own touch machinery — no special permissions.
