Verjuice

Linux + Apple Silicon · Free to start

One Command.
The Right Compatibility Layer.
Zero Guesswork.

Run Windows apps and games seamlessly across Linux and Apple Silicon. Verjuice detects your hardware, queries verified runtimes, and delegates to native Wine, Proton, or Whisky pipelines.

$

Illustrative session. Switch hosts to see how the route changes.

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.

Intelligent Delegation

Automatically routes each app between Wine, Proton and Whisky based on its graphics API, anti-cheat flags and your host. No more guessing which layer to install.

  • Per-app prefixes, never shared
  • Falls back cleanly and tells you why

Hardware-Aware Tuning

Auto-configures DXVK, VKD3D-Proton and MoltenVK for the GPU you actually have: Apple Silicon, NVIDIA or AMD. Driver versions and Vulkan features are checked before launch.

  • Apple M-series, NVIDIA, AMD RADV
  • 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 run

  1. 01Detect

    CPU arch, GPU vendor, driver, Vulkan / Metal support, installed runtimes.

  2. 02Query

    Match the executable against cited compat entries for your host class.

  3. 03Delegate

    Pick Wine, Proton or Whisky, plus the right translation layer and env.

  4. 04Launch

    Build an isolated prefix, launch, and log the exact configuration used.

Orchestrates the open-source runtimes you already trust

Compatibility DB

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.

Stop guessing which layer to use

Point Verjuice at an installer or an .exe. It'll tell you what works on your machine, and then make it work.
