01 Features

Everything you need, nothing you don’t

A focused virtual machine desktop with the library, installers, and guest tools that matter — no clutter, no account.

  1. 01

    Visual VM library

    Browse every machine in grid or list view. Search, favorite, and open a separate window for each guest desktop.

    Library
  2. 02

    Official installers

    Download Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, or Kali from their publishers, or open Microsoft’s Windows 11 page. Checksums are verified before you create a machine.

    Installers
  3. 03

    Ready machines

    Import a prepared .1vm package and start an already-installed system. No ISO setup when you just want to get to work.

    Native speed

    Machines that match your processor are hardware accelerated: ARM64 on Apple Silicon, Intel/AMD with the Windows Hypervisor Platform. Other architectures still run with software emulation when you need them.

  5. 05

    Files and clipboard

    Copy text and files between your computer and Linux. Drop files onto the display, paste into Downloads, and drag them back to Finder or Explorer.

    Transfer

    Local and private

    QEMU is bundled with the app. Machines live in the 1vm folder in your home folder. No account, no cloud.

02 Method

Download to running guest, in minutes

01

Download 1VM

Install the macOS, Windows, or Linux build from the latest GitHub release. 1VM includes its own QEMU runtime, so there is nothing else to install.

02

Create a machine

Pick an official Linux installer, a Windows 11 ISO, a ready machine, or an existing virtual disk. Review CPU, memory, and disk before you start.

03

Start and install

Open the machine window and install the guest operating system, or boot a ready machine immediately. Each VM runs in its own window.

04

Work across systems

Share clipboard text and copy files with Linux. Pause, restart, or shut down from the toolbar without leaving your desktop.

03 Download

Windows and Linux desktop builds will follow from the same GitHub release channel.
