Intelligent Delegation
Automatically routes each app between Wine and Whisky based on its graphics API, anti-cheat flags and your Mac. No more guessing which layer to install.
- Per-app prefixes, never shared
- Falls back cleanly and tells you why

Know if it runs
before you buy it.
Verjuice checks a Windows game against a cited compatibility database, then makes it run on your Mac. No guessing, and no pretending a title works when it doesn't.

The engine
An orchestrator, not another compatibility layer
Verjuice doesn't reinvent Wine. It answers one question for any Windows app on any host: can this run here, and through which backend? Then it wires up the proven tools to do it.
Hardware-Aware Tuning
Auto-configures DXVK, DXMT and MoltenVK for the Apple Silicon GPU you actually have. Driver versions and Metal features are checked before launch.
- Apple M-series, tuned per chip
- Known-bad driver combos are flagged
Verified Compatibility
Every recommendation is backed by a cited database entry: who tested it, on what hardware, with which versions. No vague claims, no broken prefixes.
- Reproducible reports, not star ratings
- Every report reviewed before it ships
What happens when you type verjuice launch
- 01Detect
CPU arch, GPU vendor, driver, Vulkan / Metal support, installed runtimes.
- 02Query
Match the executable against cited compat entries for your host class.
- 03Delegate
Pick Wine or Whisky, plus the right translation layer and env.
- 04Launch
Build an isolated prefix, launch, and log the exact configuration used.
Compatibility ratings
Every rating cites its source
Each report records the host, backend, versions and a link to the evidence, so a result can be reproduced, not just believed. Reports are reviewed before they change a recommendation, and anyone can submit one.
- Optimized
- Runs at or near native. Tuned profile shipped.
- Verified
- Completes end-to-end on the stated hardware.
- Playable
- Works with a documented, reproducible caveat.
- Unsupported
- No working path on this host. We say so.
When DRM, licensing or kernel anti-cheat blocks a title, it's recorded as Unsupported with a citation. Verjuice never works around it.
