Early release candidate: binaries are self-signed and not notarized by Apple, and the main installer pipes a script into bash, so read it or use the release ZIP. The guest has internet through NAT by default and may reach services on your machine or network; it is not a sandbox for untrusted code (use --offline to cut the network). Apple silicon only.

It works with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. The code is on GitHub at govijr/terminal-mac.
Free & open source (MIT). No account or API key. Needs an Apple silicon Mac on macOS 14 or later, a one-time macOS download from Apple and disk space for the virtual Mac (64 GB logical size by default).
