Pomme is a command-line tool for creating and automating headless macOS virtual machines on Apple silicon.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-07 issue.

For: Apple silicon developers automating macOS VM workflows
Worth noticing: The page describes copy-on-write clones from a restored template and resumable VM creation with --resume.

Field notes

The documented setup uses Apple's Virtualization framework to install macOS from a restore image, followed by an authenticated guest agent. The page describes template-based copy-on-write clones, resumable creation, and guest interaction without a network connection. It also lists workflows for changing SIP and AMFI settings and enrolling in MDM; these are presented as capabilities of a beta tool, whose 0.1.0 development build is not published.
