MetalSharp let's you play Windows Games on MacOS Silicon for Free.

Hello everyone, I am the main developer and designer behind the program MetalSharp, a free developer signed application for MacOS to run Windows Games on MacOS Silicon.

Although I am aware there are many different kinds of launchers currently out there, my mission was always to set myself apart from others and not use Crossover Source or the likeness to get everything working. Everything was built from the ground up, including a custom built Wine 11.17. I have a bachelor's degree in software engineering and have dedicated the last 5 months or so to building this, with AI assistance from codex for things I did not totally understand.

Here are some of the key features of the application I think users would enjoy:

\- Easy to manage graphics pipelines; you can easily switch between different launch methods such as DXMT, VKD3D, D3DMetal, and Mono / FNA. If a game doesn't work at first, choose another pipeline from the dropdown, and try again instantly.

\- Steam Deck-like appearance; Change Hero / Applet artwork, and manage settings per game, such as Xinput/Dinput , Msync, and MetalFX Upscaling.

\- Easy Setup; Install the runtime in one click, and install Windows Steam with the next button. Choose between 20 different languages for an experience native to you.

\- Developer Signed: Feel safe when installing MetalSharp without a gatekeeper warning appearing and easily uninstall everything from settings if it isn't for you. Clear Shader Caches, View crash logs, and Manage Wine Processes easily.

\- GOG / EPIC / Gamejolt support built into the 'Sharp Library' ; Create dedicated prefixes for each service, login, and sync your library to play games from your account.

\- Stream Games via Sunshine / Moonlight to mobile devices

\- Active Development; MetalSharp is updated almost weekly. If you have an issue, I will take lots of time to fix it and ensure it is done correctly. You will feel heard with any problems while using my application.

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to look at this! I hope this helps anyone looking to play their windows steam games. The repo is linked here if you would like to check it out!

[OS] Markraft: a free floating Markdown notepad for Mac

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on **Markraft**, a free, open-source Markdown notepad for Mac.

The idea is simple: a note that’s one shortcut away, wherever you’re working. Press **Option+N** to bring it up over your current app, write something down, and press it again to put it away. It stays on top, so you can keep a checklist or some reference notes beside what you’re doing.

Raycast Notes inspired the floating window, and Typora inspired the live Markdown editing. Formatting shows as you type, with Markdown syntax revealed around your cursor when you need to edit it.

Your notes are just .md **files in a folder you choose**. You can use an existing notes folder and open the same files in other editors. Changes made outside Markraft show up in the app too. When saving, it preserves untouched parts of the original file, including their formatting.

A few things it supports:

* **Tables edited cell by cell**, task lists, images, and highlighted code blocks.
* \[\[wiki links\]\] **With completion**, callouts, and footnotes.
* **⌘P to find a note**, ⌘K for actions, and / to insert a block.
* **In-note search** with highlighted matches.
* **Optional Vim mode**, with motions, text objects, visual selection, and search.

**It’s completely free and open source under the MIT license.** No account, subscription, or telemetry. For syncing between Macs, you can put the notes folder in iCloud Drive or another sync service.

It’s still early, and I’d love to hear your thoughts. What do you currently use for quick notes while working, and what would make this more useful for you?

Any Mac app you bought just because it looks and feels so good?

Like, the app is useful, but it looks so nice that it makes you immediately want to buy it. Because recent days hear so many topics about design is dying.
