Caipirinha

Caipirinha is an app for Apple Silicon Macs that runs Windows games with no setup. It creates the Wine bottles, installs Steam for Windows, picks the layer that translates DirectX to Metal (such as DXVK or Apple's D3DMetal) and keeps a log of every run. It needs macOS 14 or later and Rosetta 2, and never redistributes Steam: the official installer comes from Valve. I started Caipirinha in October 2026, in Rust, and I have not published the code yet.
