Virtual machines, plainly done. 简单纯粹的 Mac 虚拟机
PlainVM is a native macOS app for creating and running Linux, macOS and Windows virtual machines on Apple’s Virtualization framework. No account, no cloud, no tracking — your machines and your files stay on your Mac. PlainVM 是一款基于 Apple Virtualization 框架的原生 macOS 虚拟机管理应用，可创建并运行 Linux、macOS 与 Windows 虚拟机。无需账号、不联网、不做任何追踪——虚拟机与文件始终保存在你自己的 Mac 上。
Features功能
Everything you need to run a VM — and nothing you don’t. 该有的都有，不该有的一个也没有。
PlainVM builds directly on Apple’s Virtualization framework, so guests run with hardware acceleration and no kernel extensions. PlainVM 直接构建在 Apple Virtualization 框架之上，无需任何内核扩展即可获得硬件加速。
Linux, macOS and Windows guestsLinux、macOS 与 Windows 客户机
Boot Linux from a kernel image or an ISO, install macOS from a local .ipsw, or set up Windows 11 on ARM from your own installation media.
支持从内核镜像或 ISO 引导 Linux、使用本地 .ipsw 安装 macOS，或用你自己的安装介质部署 Windows 11 ARM。
Start, pause, resume, save state启动、暂停、恢复与状态保存
Pause a machine mid-task and pick it back up later. On Apple silicon, PlainVM saves the running state on a clean shutdown and restores it on the next launch. 可随时暂停并稍后继续。在 Apple 芯片上，PlainVM 会在正常退出时保存运行状态，下次启动时优先恢复。
Named run-state snapshots命名运行状态快照
Save the state of a running or paused machine under a name and return to it later. A snapshot captures memory and device state — it is not a disk snapshot, so data already written to the virtual disk is not rolled back. 为运行中或已暂停的虚拟机保存命名状态，随时回到该时间点。快照记录的是内存与设备状态，并非磁盘快照，已写入虚拟磁盘的数据不会被回滚。
Shared folders共享目录
Share a folder with the guest over Virtio-FS so you can move files without setting up a network share. 通过 Virtio-FS 与客户机共享目录，无需配置网络共享即可传输文件。
Backup, export and templates备份、导出与模板
Export a machine as a self-contained backup package, share a configuration as JSON, or save a machine as a template to pre-fill the next one. 可将虚拟机导出为自包含的备份包、将配置导出为 JSON，或另存为模板以便快速创建下一台。
Sandboxed by design沙盒设计
PlainVM runs inside the macOS App Sandbox and only touches the disks, images and folders you pick yourself. It makes no network requests of its own. PlainVM 运行在 macOS 应用沙盒中，只访问你亲自选择的磁盘、镜像与目录，自身不发起任何网络请求。
You bring the operating systems. PlainVM does not include, download or distribute any guest operating system. You supply your own Linux ISO or disk image, your own macOS .ipsw restore image, and your own licensed Windows installation media.
客户机系统由你自备。PlainVM 不包含、不下载、也不分发任何客户机操作系统。你需要自行准备 Linux ISO 或磁盘镜像、macOS .ipsw 恢复镜像，以及已获授权的 Windows 安装介质。
Requirements系统要求
What you need运行环境
| Item项目 | Requirement要求 |
|---|---|
| Operating system操作系统 | macOS 14 or latermacOS 14 或更高版本 |
| Mac model机型 | Apple silicon recommended. macOS guests, saved run state and Windows on ARM require Apple silicon.建议使用 Apple 芯片。macOS 客户机、运行状态保存与 Windows ARM 均需 Apple 芯片。 |
| Memory & CPU内存与 CPU | 1–8 vCPU and 512 MB–32 GB of memory per machine, and never more than the host’s physical memory or core count. PlainVM checks this before creating a machine.每台虚拟机 1–8 个 vCPU、512 MB–32 GB 内存，且不得超过宿主机的物理内存与核心数，PlainVM 会在创建前校验。 |
| Storage存储 | At least 5 GiB free on the target volume, checked before every write-heavy operation. For macOS guests the volume must also be local, writable and support sparse files; network and read-only volumes are blocked.目标卷可用空间不少于 5 GiB，每次写入型操作前都会校验。macOS 客户机还要求该卷为本地、可写且支持稀疏文件；网络卷与只读卷会被阻止。 |
| Networking网络 | NAT networking. Bridged networking requires a restricted Apple entitlement and is not enabled in the standard build.支持 NAT 网络。桥接网络需要 Apple 的受限 entitlement，标准版本未开放。 |
| macOS guestsmacOS 客户机 | Apple silicon only, and at most two macOS virtual machines per host, in line with Apple’s licence terms.仅限 Apple 芯片，并遵循 Apple 授权条款，每台宿主机最多 2 台 macOS 虚拟机。 |
