About This App

VMware Fusion is a desktop virtualization platform that allows Mac users to run Windows, Linux, and other operating systems as virtual machines without rebooting. It's widely used by developers, IT professionals, and power users who need to test software across multiple platforms, run legacy applications, or maintain isolated development environments on a single Mac. The application provides full virtual machine management, networking configuration, and integration features. VMware Fusion has been actively maintained and updated by Broadcom (which acquired VMware) and now offers both free and Pro licensing tiers.

Great news: VMware Fusion has a native Universal Binary version available. Version 25.0.1 (and later versions in the 13.6+ series via Homebrew) fully supports Apple Silicon Macs with a native build. You should update immediately to the latest version from VMware's official downloads or via Homebrew Cask. The native version provides full performance on Apple Silicon without any Rosetta 2 translation layer, and supports running both ARM-based and Intel-based guest operating systems through native virtualization. Simply download the latest version from the official VMware website and reinstall — your existing virtual machines will migrate smoothly.
