This is great if you want to use the VM in full screen and take advantage of the entire resolution of your Mac's display. VirtualBuddy sets up its virtual machines to have the same screen resolution as the host's main screen. This way you can have a "clean" copy of your VM, do whatever you want with a duplicate of it, and then throw the copy away and re-duplicate the clean version if things break. Thanks to APFS cloning though, you can just duplicate a virtual machine within your library folder (using Command + D in Finder), and the copy will take almost no additional disk space. Sometimes when trying things out in the OS installed in one of the virtual machines, things might break, requiring a full install of the guest operating system again, which is a pain. The feature is experimental, so it might be buggy and it's definitely not secure. This will keep the clipboard in sync between the guest and host machines. ¹ To enable clipboard sharing, build the VirtualBuddyGuest scheme, then copy the VirtualBuddyGuest app to the virtual machine (through file sharing, for example) and run it. Customize virtual machine hardware configuration.Clipboard sharing (without the need to be running macOS Ventura) (experimental ¹).Boot into recovery mode (in order to disable SIP, for example).Select from a collection of Linux distros.Install the latest stable version of macOS.Select from a collection of restore images available on Apple's servers.
Ability to boot some ARM-based Linux distros (tested with Ubuntu Server and Ubuntu Desktop).Ability to boot any version of macOS 12 or macOS 13, including betas.Things might break or not work as expected. ⚠️ WARNING: This project is experimental. In order to install a Linux distro, macOS 13 is required.In order to install a version of macOS that's newer than the version running on the host (for example, macOS 13 VM in VirtualBuddy running on macOS 12), Xcode is required Xcode beta may be required for installing macOS betas ( FB11061314).VirtualBuddy can virtualize macOS 12 and later on Apple Silicon, with the goal of offering features that are useful to developers who need to test their apps on multiple versions of macOS, especially betas.
