Workbench is compatible with Mac, iPad, and iPhone devices provided they meet the minimum system requirements.
Only Mac devices can be used as the host device, while the connected client device can be another Mac, an iPad, or iPhone. Only one device can connect to the host Mac at a time.

Operating System: macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later
⚠️Important Note: Older devices running a macOS version that has been installed via programs like OpenCore Legacy Patcher, are not supported.
Your Mac should natively support a Workbench-compatible macOS version to guarantee functionality.
Hardware Requirements:
Apple Silicon Macs: Preferred, and strongly recommended.
Intel Macs: Supported, but likely to experience reduced video quality and connection stability.
