VMPal Gives AI Agents an Isolated Mac, Windows, or Linux VM

Summary

VMPal is a virtual-machine application for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 26 or later. It can install macOS, Windows 11, Ubuntu, or Fedora, using Apple’s Virtualization framework for macOS and Linux and its own engine for Windows; each system can use the Mac’s GPU for acceleration. The product includes clipboard and file sharing, drag and drop, shared folders, snapshots, port forwarding, live settings, per-VM sound and microphone controls, and the ability to import Parallels VMs. Its AI-agent feature places an agent inside a selected VM, where it uses the VM’s keyboard and mouse rather than macOS accessibility, screen-recording, app-access, or password permissions. VMPal says the host Mac’s files and screen are not touched, while agent control is opt-in per VM, and snapshots can restore the whole machine if an action goes wrong. A built-in MCP setup can connect VMPal to Claude Code, Codex, Grok CLI, or Gemini CLI, either on the Mac or inside the VM, allowing the agent to view the VM screen, control it, and run commands as the user or an administrator.
