What is UTM?

UTM is a full featured system emulator and virtual machine host for iOS and macOS. It is based off of QEMU. In short, it allows you to run Windows, Linux, and more on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

Features

Full system emulation (MMU, devices, etc) using QEMU
30+ processors supported including x86_64, ARM64, and RISC-V
VGA graphics mode using SPICE and QXL
Text terminal mode
USB devices
JIT based acceleration using QEMU TCG
Frontend designed from scratch for macOS 11 and iOS 11+ using the latest and greatest APIs
Create, manage, run VMs directly from your device

Additional macOS Features

Hardware accelerated virtualization using Hypervisor.framework and QEMU
Boot macOS guests with Virtualization.framework on macOS 12+

Version for macOS is available at https://mac.getutm.app/ Apple Silicon is natively supported.

Why isn't this in the iOS's AppStore?

Apple does not permit any apps that has interpreted or generated code therefore it is unlikely that UTM will ever be allowed. However, there are various ways people on the internet have come up to side load apps without requiring a jailbreak. We do not condone or support any of these methods.

The Idea of running KVM/QEMU on iOS is beautiful. Dont know the use case for me, but I see someone running a couple of iPad Pros like "blades" in a rack somewhere, haha.
