Introduction

PearSilicone runs iOS apps and games on Apple Silicon Macs.

Point it at an .ipa, and it installs the app, prepares it for macOS, and launches it as a real window you can play in. A built-in keymapper turns your keyboard and mouse into real touches, so a game built for a touchscreen feels natural on the Mac.

It’s free, open source, and made for apps you already own and are allowed to run.

Get started

1. Install PearSilicone — download and add it to Applications.
2. Add an app — drop in an .ipa and it installs itself.
3. Set up your controls if you’re playing with a keyboard.

If macOS warns you the first time you open it, that’s expected — and First launch shows the one-line fix.

Note

PearSilicone is an independent project, not affiliated with Apple or with any app or game you use it with.
