NEW Rum 2 beta: a brand-new game library →

Windows games,
poured onto your Mac.

Rum is a free, open-source game library for Apple Silicon. Drop in an .exe, press Play, and Wine does the rest.

Features

Wine, but a bit sweeter.

Rum wraps Wine in a native SwiftUI app, so you spend your time playing instead of editing prefixes.

🎮

A real game library

Cover art, play time, Recently Played and one-click launch for every game and app you add.

⚡

Modern graphics

DXVK, DXMT, WineD3D and D3DMetal, with Rum checking the renderer before launch instead of after a crash.

🍾

Bottles made easy

Create and manage Wine bottles without the terminal. Winetricks, environment and runtime settings are built in.

🧪

Multiple Wine engines

Keep Gcenx and Sikarugir engines side by side and pin a different one to each bottle.

🎛️

Per-game graphics

Run one game on DXMT and another on DXVK in the same bottle, and switch from the library when one misbehaves.

💻

Command line too

The rum CLI lists, creates and runs bottles for scripting and shell setups.

Rum vs Whisky

Picks up where Whisky left off.

Rum started as a fork of Whisky, which is no longer maintained. Here's what's been added on top.

Thanks to Isaac Marovitz and everyone who built Whisky. Rum wouldn't exist without it.
