Free Download InsideGUI VirtualBuddy, the Latest Standalone Offline Installer for macOS. It can virtualize macOS 12 and, later on, Apple Silicon to offer valuable features to developers who need to test their apps on multiple versions of macOS, especially betas.

Overview of VirtualBuddy for macOS

When you boot up a virtual machine running macOS, it automatically mounts a disk image with the VirtualBuddyGuest app. To install the app, select the "Guest" disk on the Finder's sidebar, then double-click the "VirtualBuddyGuest" app icon. It enables clipboard sharing between host and guest, automatically mounting the shared folders configured for the virtual machine.
