UTM Alternatives
UTM
UTM is a full featured virtual machine host for iOS. In short, it allows you to run Windows, Android, and more on your iPhone and iPad.
Features
- 30+ processors supported including x86_64, ARM64, and RISC-V thanks to qemu as a backend
- Fast native graphics through para-virtualization thanks to SPICE
- JIT based acceleration using qemu TCG
- Frontend designed from scratch for iOS11+ using the latest and greatest APIs
- Create, manage, run VMs directly from your device
- Shared directory, clipboard, and port forwarding
- Support external keyboards, mouse, touchpads, Apple Pencil, and controllers
- No jailbreak required!
Why isn't this in the AppStore?
Apple does not permit any apps that has interpreted or generated code therefore it is unlikely that UTM will ever be allowed. However, there are various ways people on the internet have come up to side load apps without requiring a jailbreak. We do not condone or support any of these methods.
