Download Winbox-Mac – MikroTik Router Manager for macOS

Winbox-Mac is a native macOS wrapper application that allows network administrators to run the official MikroTik Winbox utility on Apple computers without needing Windows or Wine. It packages Winbox inside a macOS-compatible environment, giving Mac users full access to MikroTik router management directly from their desktop.

MikroTik’s Winbox is the de facto standard GUI tool for configuring RouterOS devices, providing access to all router settings including interfaces, firewall rules, routing tables, VPN configuration, bandwidth queues, and more. Winbox-Mac brings this power to macOS users who previously had to rely on workarounds or virtual machines to run the tool.

The application is easy to install — just download, open, and connect to your MikroTik device by IP or MAC address. It supports all RouterOS versions and maintains full feature parity with the Windows Winbox client.
