About
XIV on Mac is a modern, open-source Final Fantasy XIV client for macOS. It uses DXMT, MSync, and MetalFX for performance, and the site states it is ready for Tahoe and M5.
The app supports hundreds of ReShade effects and offers a one-click Dalamud setup. A User Guide and FAQ are available on the website.
The latest changelog entry, XIV on Mac 5.5.1 Beta, fixes an issue where using ReShade could cause the game to hang and an issue where ReShade shaders would fail to compile. It also adds options to delete the Metal shader cache and the Wine prefix.
