?
Your online trading platform or accounting tool only runs on Windows?
Your audio book player is not available on OS X?
No need to install emulators, virtualizers or boot into other operating systems – WineBottler runs your Windows-based programs directly on your Mac.
This is possible thanks to a Windows-compatible subsystem, which is provided by the great OpenSource tool Wine.

WineBottler does Automated Installations:

Select from a wide range of software for which WineBottler offers automated installations. It is as easy as hitting 'Install' – and WineBottler will leave you with a neat app on your desktop. WineBottler does not come with the programs themselves, but with scripts, that take care of down­loading, configuring and installing everything into an app for you.

WineBottler can pack your .exe into an Mac .app ...

Double-click your .exe or .msi and convert it into an app with WineBottler. You can run the generated app like every other program on your Mac. For advanced users, WineBottler gives you a selection of options: install special dependencies and even turn your .exe into a self-contained app - that is an app, that contains everything to run it... even on other Macs. Porting to OS X never was easier ;).
Find out more - have a look at the Documentation.

... or just run that .exe.

You don't care about generating an app and just want to run it? Double-click the .exe, choose 'Run directly' and Wine will run it in a generic environment.

Enjoy, it's free!

Like Wine, WineBottler is free software. We've made it out of our own needs and now we share the result. If you are happy with it, you can keep the project rolling by sending a small Donation.

Need other Versions of WineBottler or Wine.app?

We keep selected builds for you. Versions before 1.4.1 still run on OS X Tiger and Leopard.
You find them under Downloads.

Mac Mojave Window Shade Application

Dark mode is a fantastic addition to any operating system, enabling late-night work to more productive. We have the theme switched on as default on Windows 10, which has always suited a darker user-interface.

Apple introduced a system-wide dark mode with Mojave and some of the recent apps look hugely better on a dark background. iPhoto is a very good example, making photos pop on the dark shade and editing easier on the eyes.

Problem is, you don't want dark mode on all the time. Some apps don't quite work for us. Mail is a good example, with odd inverted colors and your mail messaging displaying a fixed white background, which sort of defeats the object of the mode.

As Apple didn't make it easy to toggle between modes (you need to go into System Preferences -> General), there's a brand new little app which makes switching so ingenious.

NightOwl is an excellent must-have addition for Mojave users. It sits in your menu bar and offers immediate access to either dark or light mode. You can also toggle on the Sunrise/Sunset setting for Night Shift.

Even better, NightOwl offers a function which Apple forgot to include. The ability to schedule dark mode. You can set it to switch on automatically late at night, so if you're working close to midnight, it's on and ready for you. Wake up the next morning and you can have it so it's configured to switch to light mode from 5am.

Simple tools like this make a huge difference to productivity and you have to wonder why on earth Apple didn't add a light/dark mode schedule option to Mojave when Night Shift has the option.
