Wineskin is a compatibility layer which allows users to easily convert Windows software to macOS. The ports are in the form of Mac .app bundles with a self-contained Wine instance which are wrapped around the application to be converted.
This is essentially an open-source equivalent to Cider by Transgaming, which has initially been used by game developers to quickly release Mac versions of games (known examples being The Sims 3, Renderware-powered installments of the Grand Theft Auto series and Max Payne 3 among others), but has since been used by intrepid hackers to port other games.
