Description

Create and manage Linux and macOS VMs directly on your Mac — without Parallels, without VMware, without subscriptions. Nemeton uses Apple's Virtualization.framework for native performance without overhead. Install Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora or Arch Linux with automatic ISO download. On Apple Silicon, also create macOS VMs with automatic IPSW download. Each VM is individually configurable: CPU cores, RAM, storage, networking (NAT or Bridged), audio, USB devices and shared folders. With copy-on-write snapshots on APFS, save VM states without additional disk space. The inline display supports fullscreen, and real-time diagnostics show CPU/RAM metrics and uptime. For developers and system administrators, Nemeton offers a REST API with 42 endpoints, WebSocket/SSE events, webhooks and MCP integration for Claude Desktop. Rosetta 2 enables x86_64 binaries in ARM Linux VMs. One-time purchase instead of subscription trap. All VMs run locally — no cloud, no telemetry. macOS 14+ required.
