Run Windows 11, macOS, and Linux on your Apple Silicon Mac.

Yes. Kyvenza is a modern virtual machine for Mac, built specifically for Apple Silicon. It runs macOS ARM and Linux ARM virtual machines natively on M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 hardware using Apple's Virtualization.framework, and Windows 11 on ARM on a second, built-in engine. No x86 emulation, no kernel extensions, no command line.

Yes, in the virtual-machine sense. Kyvenza is a Mac VM editor for creating, configuring, snapshotting, cloning, and managing Apple Silicon VMs through a graphical interface. It is not a photo or video editor.

Kyvenza supports macOS ARM, Linux ARM, and Windows 11 on ARM guests on Apple Silicon Macs. For Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and Alpine, Kyvenza downloads a pinned ARM64 installer release over HTTPS from the official mirror and checks it against the SHA256 checksum the distribution publishes next to the image, so you never have to hunt for the right image. You can also boot any other ARM64 ISO by attaching it yourself. For Windows you supply Microsoft’s official ARM64 image and your own licence.

Yes. With bridged networking a VM takes its own address directly from your router, so a service running inside it is reachable from other machines on the network, and you can ssh straight in. New VMs default to shared (NAT), where the guest can reach the internet but nothing can reach in. Bridged networking needs a wired interface: wireless access points generally will not carry traffic for a VM’s own hardware address, so Kyvenza warns you when you pick a Wi-Fi interface.

Kyvenza is built for developers, testers, creators, and power users who need isolated operating system environments with a simple graphical workflow. It is ideal for software engineers running cross-platform tests, QA teams validating builds, security researchers needing sandboxed environments, and anyone who wants to run multiple operating systems on their Mac without complex configuration.

No. Kyvenza is designed as a graphical virtual machine manager with an interface that makes VM setup and management more approachable. You can create, start, stop, and configure virtual machines entirely through the visual interface — no terminal commands required.

Yes. As a virtual machine for Mac built specifically for Apple Silicon, Kyvenza uses native ARM virtualization to deliver a fast, responsive experience on M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 Macs. Because both the host and guest operating systems run on the same ARM architecture, virtualization overhead is minimal and VMs feel noticeably faster compared to x86 emulation.

You can use Kyvenza for software development and debugging in isolated environments, QA and compatibility testing across macOS and Linux versions, security research in sandboxed VMs, client demos using clean OS instances, running server-side Linux toolchains natively, and creating reproducible build environments for your team.

Kyvenza requires an Apple Silicon Mac — M1, M2, M3, M4, or M5 — running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Intel-based Macs are not supported. Kyvenza is designed to take full advantage of the Apple Silicon virtualization framework for maximum performance and efficiency.

Kyvenza is a virtual machine for Mac focused on ARM-native virtualization with a clean, modern interface. Unlike Parallels’ subscription editions, Kyvenza offers a one-time purchase model with no ongoing subscription fees. Compared to UTM, Kyvenza provides a more polished graphical experience designed specifically for professional workflows on Apple Silicon.

Yes, since Kyvenza 2.0.0. Windows 11 on ARM runs on a second engine built into the app, on Apple's Hypervisor framework, with TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot on by default, so it installs without registry workarounds, and the network and display drivers ship inside the app. You bring your own Windows 11 ARM64 image from Microsoft and your own licence. It is built for everyday Windows tools rather than games or 3D work: there is no GPU acceleration or USB passthrough in Windows guests, and no microphone input (they do play sound). Clipboard sharing, a shared drive, and pasting or dropping files from the Mac all work once the bundled guest tools are installed. Full detail at kyvenza.com/windows-support/.

Kyvenza Pro is a one-time purchase at $49. It includes 12 months of updates under a Perpetual Fallback License, which means your license remains valid and functional even after the update period ends, so you keep what you paid for. Renewing for another year of updates is $19, and renewal is optional. Every download starts with a 7-day free trial of the full app.

Yes. Kyvenza includes a 7-day free trial that unlocks the full Pro feature set on your Apple Silicon Mac — no account and no card required. When the trial ends, a license is needed to create and run VMs; your existing VM files remain on disk and become available again as soon as you activate Pro.
