Create and run virtual machines
Guestbay creates, runs and manages virtual machines on your computer: Windows, Linux and macOS guests, with their
console in the window, snapshots, clones and exports, and access from browsers on your network when you turn it on.
- Linux cloud images start in seconds with your user, SSH key and packages
- Windows 10 and 11 install unattended from Microsoft's ISO, with a TPM for Windows 11
- Older Windows, from Windows 95 to 8.1, installs from your own disc
- Seamless apps: a guest's apps open as windows of their own, and their launchers can sit on your desktop
- Shared folders and copy and paste with each virtual machine
- macOS through OpenCore
- Hardware acceleration with KVM, and forwarded ports with the command to connect
QEMU is included: x86-64, i386, ARM64, ARM, RISC-V 64 and PowerPC 64.
For hardware acceleration, allow Guestbay to use KVM once: sudo snap connect guestbay:kvm
Free to use for 14 days, then a one-time US$29.99 unlock: a licence key for two computers from guestbay.app
(payment through Polar).
Guestbay itself is proprietary software from Ontiqo Pty Ltd. The QEMU inside is free software under the GNU General
Public License, version 2, built from its official source.
