About CodeWeavers

CodeWeavers is a US software company that makes CrossOver, a tool for running Windows programs and games on Mac and Linux computers. CrossOver translates Windows commands into native ones rather than emulating Windows, so no Windows licence, virtual machine or dual-boot set-up is needed.

  • Trial version: the software can be tried before buying.
  • Open-source contributions: code written by the company goes back to the open-source community.

Who it works with

Mac and Linux users who still need particular Windows applications or games; the company says hundreds of thousands of people have used CrossOver.
