A simpler way to play.

Pear is a free, open-source project bringing Windows Steam games to Apple Silicon. Open Pear, sign in through official Steam, and choose a game from your library.

Our goal is an experience without Rosetta in every required process and library. That native runtime is still in development.

Meet the current release

Pear 0.1.1 uses Rosetta, Wine 11.0 and DXMT 0.80. It requires Apple Silicon and macOS 15 or later. Gameplay observations are from an M4 Pro running macOS 26.5.2; macOS 15.7.9 checks cover startup, not full Steam UI or gameplay.

Pear 0.1.1 fixes first-install setup. Empty and recovered installations were checked on M4 Pro. Earlier releases using the unchanged runtime have Megabonk play, save/relaunch and fresh-account evidence on that Mac. Other Macs and games remain unverified.

You should not need to learn Wine or use Terminal for routine play. An optional CLI shares the same setup as the app.

Reading game results

ResultWhat it means
PassA report records at least 20 active play minutes, input, audio and save/reload, with no failed checks. It is still a community observation.
PartialSome progress was observed, but the full play checks are incomplete. Menu-only observations belong here.
FailedA launch failure, unusable game, regression or failed check was reported. Read the details for its scope.

A verified configuration also requires a reviewed Pear acceptance record. A Pass report or a popular request does not grant that status. Native qualification needs process and library evidence as well.

Reports from different Macs, runtimes and dates can disagree. Use the filters and inspect their details. Counts refer to records, not unique players or a universal success rate.

One community, on GitHub

Game requests, upvotes and original reports live on GitHub. Pear groups reviewed records by Steam App ID. Votes express interest; maintainers also consider reproducibility, effort and benefits to other games.

Vote counts, when available, are dated GitHub snapshots. A missing count stays unavailable. No separate Pear account or voting database is needed.
