RetroMac wraps your everyday macOS in the look and feel of classic computers: authentic CRT shaders over your whole screen, themed docks and desktops (Mac OS 9, Windows XP/98, BeOS, Amiga…), retro widgets and games, and a virtual webcam that pipes the CRT look into Zoom, Meet or Teams. Open source, free to use with an optional one-time upgrade for extra presets and webcam support.
🆕 What’s new since our first launch?
This is RetroMac’s second Product Hunt launch, and the app has grown a lot!
👉 Dock Mode & a quick launcher. RetroMac can live in your Dock; click its icon for a slim launcher to switch themes and flip the shader or virtual camera on/off. There’s also a floating launcher button you can drag anywhere on screen.
😳 Shaders on every display. Multi-monitor setups now get the CRT treatment on all screens, not just the main one.
👉 New “Retro Crisis” shaders (GDV-NTSC composite & RGB) and softer, more authentic CRT phosphor masks . No more “fly-screen” sharpness; it looks like a real tube now.
👋 Authentic Windows taskbar: Windows 98 and XP show one elongated taskbar button per open window; click to minimize/restore, just like the real thing.

Who hunted RetroMac?
RetroMac was hunted by Maik Klotz. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
