Ctrl+Space opens search, Alt+` switches windows, F3 shows every open window, Ctrl+Alt+Arrow keys snap the active window, and Esc closes any overlay.

Go full screen to show the desktop without the page around it, and save a PNG screenshot of exactly what you see.
Your own files

Make it yours
Settings switches between light and dark, sets the accent colour and picks one of six original wallpapers. Right-click the desktop for more.
Terminal
A small pretend shell for practising: ls, cd, cat, mkdir, touch, rm, echo, date, whoami, clear and help work on the virtual disk.

macOS simulator FAQ
What is this macOS simulator?
A free web page that looks and behaves like a macOS style desktop: a menu bar, a dock, a launchpad, windows and a dozen small apps, all running in your browser tab. It is a simulation for fun, learning and design mockups, not a real operating system.
Can I use a Mac simulator online without installing anything?
Yes. Open this page in any modern browser on Windows, Linux, a Chromebook, a tablet or a phone. There is nothing to download and no account to create.
Does it run real Mac apps?
No. The apps are simple look-alikes made for this page: Files, Notes, Calculator, Terminal, Paint, Photos, Clock, Settings, a local Web page viewer and Trash. They cannot run programs from a real Mac.
Are my files private?
Yes. Files you create or import are stored in this browser only and are never uploaded. Reset to factory settings clears them, and Export disk saves a copy as one file.
Can I use it for screenshots and mockups?
Yes. Arrange windows, pick a wallpaper and a theme, then save a PNG screenshot of the desktop or go full screen for a presentation.
Is it affiliated with Apple?
No. This is an independent simulator with its own artwork and icons. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple Inc. macOS and Mac are trademarks of Apple Inc.
