Does it run on my Mac?

CrosTem tells you before you hit Buy: one clear verdict on every game, drawn from CrossOver ratings, AppleGamingWiki and anti-cheat reports — in the Steam client on your Mac, or in your browser.

A real capture — the Steam client on a Mac, with CrosTem attached.

Buying a Mac game shouldn't take three tabs

Checking one game used to mean CodeWeavers, AppleGamingWiki and an anti-cheat tracker — then reconciling their answers yourself.

Before

Three databases, three searches, three answers to reconcile — for every game on your wishlist.

With CrosTem

One verdict, already on the page you're looking at.

Two ways to get the answer

Same verdicts, same three sources — pick where you want them.

CrosTem for Mac

Beta

A menubar app that puts verdicts inside the Steam client itself — and an Overview that tells you how much of your library runs on your Mac.

For you if you buy and play through the Steam app on your Mac.

CrosTem for your browser

Beta

An extension that adds the same verdicts to the Steam website in Chrome, Brave or Edge — game pages, search, wishlist and capsules.

For you if you browse the Steam store in your browser.

How it works

No account, no setup — install it and the answer is just there.

  1. Install CrosTem

    The Mac app for the Steam client, the extension for Chrome, Brave or Edge — or both. Either way it's free, open source and ready in a minute.

  2. Browse Steam as usual

    Game pages, search results, sales, your wishlist — CrosTem looks up every game you see, quietly and in the background.

  3. Read the verdict

    A conservative traffic light, with each source's raw status right below it so you can judge for yourself — before you hit Buy.

The verdict, at a glance

  • Green — play it today, natively or via CrossOver.
  • Amber — playable with caveats; check the details.
  • Red — likely unplayable, usually because of anti-cheat.
  • Grey — no data yet; the sources don't know this game.

How the verdict is computed →

  • 2apps — one for the Steam client, one for the browser
  • 3data sources
  • 30languages
  • 0telemetry — everything stays on your machine

Open source, nothing to hide

The privacy claims aren't promises — they're in the code, and the code is public.

GPL-3.0-or-later

Free software, forever. The license guarantees CrosTem stays free and open, whoever maintains it.

Audit it yourself

Every line that runs on your machine is on GitHub — the verdict logic, the caching, all of it.

A tiny footprint

The extension asks for one browser permission: storage. The Mac app keeps everything in one local folder. No tabs, no history, no accounts.

Private by design

No accounts, no servers, no telemetry. CrosTem fetches public compatibility pages and caches them on your machine — that is the whole footprint.

Read the privacy policy

Stop juggling three databases in three tabs.
