A free, open-source macOS launcher that runs ArenaNet’s official Guild Wars client natively on Apple Silicon.

Why it surfaced

GWonMac handles installation, game data, updates, signing, and notarization in one small fan-built package, with selectable Retina render scale and support for M1 through M5 Macs. Its documentation also includes real performance reports and a notably careful explanation of what the project does—and does not—change in the official client.

Lunch Through the Bee Veil

August 11’s newborn domains include a bee veil with a lockable lunch flap, a book designed to unfold over ten years, a Colombian missing-person and aid board, and a brick studio made by a dad and his 10-year-old co-founder.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-11 Domain Arrivals issue.
