I am interested in purchasing Home Designer. Is the software compatible on a Mac?
Yes, Home Designer 2015 and newer program versions will run natively on the Mac operating system, macOS, so long as it meets the system requirements. Please see the current version's System Requirements page, as well as the Mac Models Compatible with Chief Architect X17 and Home Designer 2026 resource to learn more.
Access the System Requirements for Prior Versions of Home Designer article if you're not using the current version.
Home Designer versions 9.0 through 2014 were supported on Mac computers using Boot Camp that otherwise met the system requirements.
Note: Running Home Designer in an emulator, or virtual machine environment, such as Parallels, VirtualBox, or VMWare Fusion, is not supported.
