Productivity software, utility programs and games will function smoothly thanks to CrossOver’s simple, one-click installation. This translator works with all manner of once-Windows-exclusive programs. Instead, it translates Windows commands into Mac commands, enabling you to run Windows software as easily as you would run native apps. Right now, CrossOver for Mac is marked down to $20, or 49 percent off.įirst thing’s first: CrossOver is not an emulator, which means it is neither slow or unintuitive. Fortunately, CrossOver for Mac’s 'One' License offers a fast and intuitive converter that translates Windows software for macOS use. Short of using an emulator, a variety of useful software ranging from utility programs to games simply aren’t available to Mac users. However, it’s undeniable that Windows far outweighs the App Store in the sheer number of programs available. MacOS has an ever-growing app ecosystem that allows it to excel in design, creativity, productivity and more.
