CleanRoom
Easy VMs for developers
Only for Mac
$9.99
Mac
Spin up real macOS virtual machines on your Apple silicon Mac in minutes. CleanRoom makes creating a clean, disposable Mac as easy as picking a version, clicking Create, and pressing Run. No complex setup, no command line, and no risky hacks. Just fast, reliable virtualization built on Apple’s Virtualization framework.
Made for developers, testers, and power users, CleanRoom helps you validate your app across macOS releases, reproduce bugs in isolation, and keep your daily driver pristine. Need a fresh system for a demo, a CI-style smoke test, or to compare behavior between updates? Create it, launch it, and get back to work.
Everything happens locally on your Mac for speed and privacy. Choose from a built-in catalog of official macOS restore images to download the version you need with clear progress. Configure each VM to match your workload: set CPU cores, memory size, disk capacity, and display resolution. Networking works out of the box with NAT, and host audio is supported. Shared Folders make moving files between your Mac and the VM fast and painless—drop in your project, copy logs, or move build artifacts without setting up SMB or SSH. Add one or more host folders and access them directly from the guest (macOS 13+). Open additional VM windows when you need more views, stop machines with a click, and keep everything organized in a simple management window.
Features
• Create clean macOS virtual machines on Apple silicon in minutes
• Download official macOS restore images with clear progress
• Configure CPU cores, memory size, disk capacity, and display resolution
• Shared Folders for fast file transfer between host and guest (macOS 13+ in guest)
• NAT networking that works out of the box; host audio support
• Efficient sparse storage: set a large max disk, but only the data you write takes space
• Open multiple VM windows for additional views
• Simple start, pause, and stop controls
• Create and organize VMs in locations you choose
Creating a new VM is flexible. Choose where it lives on disk. With efficient sparse storage, you pick a generous maximum disk size up front, and the VM file only grows as you use it—so you get big‑disk flexibility without wasting space.
Requirements and limits: Apple silicon (ARM64) Macs only. Guests are macOS at this time. Shared Folders require macOS 13 or later in the guest.
If you build, test, or support Mac software, CleanRoom saves time the first day you use it and pays for itself the first time you need a clean environment. Buy it today and turn your Mac into as many Macs as you need.
