'''Wineskin''' is a an open-source [[compatibility layers|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.
