MTGA is now officially available, find out how you can download MTG Arena on Mac here.
For Magic: the Gathering Arena fans on Mac devices, there aren’t many options. Wine doesn’t seem to work anymore on macOS Catalina. If you upgraded, you won’t be able to use Wine anymore to play MTG Arena.
Thanks to Draftsim, we found a new solution. There are a few options, but we recommend Boot Camp Assistant.
Boot Camp Requirements
You’ll have to find your own copy of Windows 10 (64-bit) and an activation key. Sorry, you’re on your own there! In order to install it though, you’ll need OS X El Capitan 10.11 or later. Windows 10 can also only be run on certain Mac models.
- MacBook (2015 or later)
- MacBook Air (2015 or later)
- MacBook Pro (2015 or later)
- iMac (2015 or later)
- iMac Pro (Any)
- Mac Pro (2013 or later)
Make sure to have Windows 10 before you go any further. You can do this later, but it has been known to cause problems with the installation process.
Installing Windows
Please remember to back up your data before doing any major partition work like this. Head to your Search Bar and type “Boot Camp”. Open the program, and read the prompt before hitting “Continue”. From there you will pick the size of the partition.
The minimum is 48GB, but you can make it as big as you have room for. Simply follow the instructions you’re given on the screen, and you will have a fresh new partition. From here, your Mac will reboot.
This is why you needed to have Windows already. Your Mac will let you select that Windows OS, and install it on the disc you wish. This can happen automatically. After following the on-screen instructions, you will have Windows on your Mac. The device will reboot one more time, but in Windows.
Finishing Up
You will click through the options, and finish installing Boot Camp and Windows. Now that we have the difficult stuff out of the way, just download MTG Arena. It’s important to note that in order to play MTG Arena on your Mac, you will have to reboot.
When you want to swap to Windows or back to Mac, reboot your machine and hold the ‘option’ (alt) ⌥ key. You will then be prompted to pick a partition. You can now play card games to your heart’s content.
Other Options
You can use Parallels or VirtualBox as alternates if you’d like. The upside to these is you do not have to reboot to swap to Windows. The negatives more than outweigh the positives though. Parallels isn’t free, and VirtualBox can be frustrating to install.
Windows will also be sharing both RAM and Hard Drive space with the Mac OS. This means it’s going to run slower, and that is not what you want when you’re trying to play a card game like MTG Arena. We can only hope that Wizards of the Coast will give Mac players a real solution soon Until then, we’ll keep an eye on what works and what doesn’t.
Outdated Options
MTG Arena has been exploding lately, with thousands rushing to play Wizards of the Coast’s latest digital variant of the classic card game. As a result, there’s been plenty of demand for a proper MTG Arena Mac version.
While downloading the game on a PC is a pretty straightforward procedure (just go download it from their site), the lack of an official client to play MTG Arena on Mac has made it difficult for traditional Magic players on that platform to be able to play.
Thanks to Redditor /u/uhohohdear, an unofficial method allowing Mac users to play Arena has finally been made available, and we’ve got the details right below.
MTG Arena Mac System Requirements
- About 35 GB of space (game is 31.5 GB, so the rest will give you some space for larger updates)
- OS X must be greater than 10.8
- OpenGL must be over 4.0
MTG Arena Mac Guide Step 1
The first thing you’re going to want to do is install Wine onto your Mac. This allows you to run Windows-based programs on your Mac, something you’re going to need for this to work.
You’ll also want to grab the Magic Arena setup executable, as well as a wine wrap for the game, the first of which you can find from the site link near the top of the article and the second in the link above.
Step 2
Unzip MTGArena.zip from the Wineskin into a folder besides the /Applications/ one.
Afterwards, drag the Wineskin into your /Applications/ folder. It is incredibly important that you do this after unzipping it; don’t unzip it into there straight away.
Step 3
Right-click the Wineskin wrapper MTGArena.app and open it. If you’re on High Sierra or a higher OS, go into Screen Options and make sure Auto Detect GPU Info is not enabled.
Next, click Install Software, followed by Choose Setup Executable.
Step 4
Once you’ve done that, got to and select MTGAInstaller.exe.
The next screen is going to be a bit weird because the text for the setup won’t show, so make sure to click the little rectangle in the bottom right corner of the setup client.
After you’ve gotten past that, click the big green button which should say Accept and Install.
Step 5
Wait for the program to finish installing, though ignore the “Path not found” messages; they don’t actually do anything. After it’s done, click the Finish button. If it doesn’t close, force quit the program by right-clicking the Arena icon in the taskbar.
Step 6
After you close it, a new window should appear that says Choose Executable. Select the one that says MTGA.exe. DO NOT click MtgaLauncher.exe.
Step 7
Click Quit and open the Wineskin wrapper again.
You should now be able to run a MTG Arena Mac client. Congratulations! Enjoy the game and good luck climbing the ranked ladder. Just remember, though, that you’ll need to reinstall the client if you need to update it, as the update function doesn’t work with Wineskin currently.

What is Toggl Track desktop app?
Toggl Track for Mac is a native macOS application that can be installed on your computer. It works seamlessly with the web version of Toggl Track, syncing data on the fly. The desktop app also works offline; it stores data locally and sends it to the Toggl Track server once you’re back online.
Download the App
Click here to download the app! Please note that this version of Toggl Track desktop app works only on macOS 10.11 El Capitan or newer.
Toggl Track is also available on App Store! If you prefer the App Store update system more than the current automatic updater, you are more than welcome to switch to the App Store version of Toggl Track.
Please note, the App Store version will not automatically update unless you have enabled this setting in System Preferences.
Tracking Time and Managing Data in List and Timeline View
The app offers two views; List and Timeline, bringing our Timeline feature into the desktop app and allowing users to add/edit time entries directly in it. Both views allow you to track and edit time entries.
Toggl Track will switch between Light and Dark mode based on your macOS preferences.
List-View
List-view can display each time entry individually or it can group entries with the same description and project together.
This behavior can be controlled by enabling/disabling the “Group similar time entries” option on the Profile page. For more details about time entry grouping please open the Timer Page article.
You can load up to 60 days' worth of time entries for a better overview by clicking “Load more” at the bottom of the list.
1. Using the Timer
Tracking time with the desktop agent is as simple as it could possibly be.
Fill in the details of what you’re doing in the “What are you doing?” field, and click on the green “play” button to start the timer. Use @ to enter Projects and # to enter tags in the description field.
If you start the timer first and wish to add the details later, just click on the timer and a popup window appears where you’re able to edit the description, project, tags, duration, start/stop times and the date. On paid plans, you’re also able to mark the entry as “Billable” or not.
You can also enter details via your keyboard, using the tab button to move through fields and spacebar to make a selection.
To make it easier to differentiate, the Toggl Track desktop app icon on your dock will be pink when the timer is running, and grey when it is not. The same applies to the menu bar, but in different colors: black or transparent.
2. Adding manual entries in List-view
You can use Manual Mode if you want to add time entries at a later time. To switch to Manual Mode, open the Toggl Track menu from the menu bar and click “Switch Mode” (Keyboard shortcut: ⌘D).
Here's what the app will look like in Manual Mode.
3. Editing time entries in List-view
Editing your time entries in the desktop app has the same basics – just click on the entry you wish to edit and a similar popup window appears. Once you’re done editing, close the popup window. Changes are saved automatically. To continue a time entry, just click on the arrow button next to the time entry.
Free 2k for mac. To rearrange your data and move an entry to a different date use drag-and-drop.
Timeline-View
The Timeline view shows your tracked time in a vertical timeline side-by-side with your activity data. You can switch Timeline on at the top of this view, as well as switch the date, and zoom in and out (keyboard shortcuts: ⌘+ and ⌘-).
Please note: On macOS 10.15 the desktop app needs Screen Recording permissions to access complete data for the Timeline feature. If permissions are not granted, the Timeline feature will still work, but it will only display the application name and not the window title for additional details. A warning will appear when users switch on Timeline if they need to provide these permissions.
Time entries are shown as “pills”, color-coded to match the project they belong to on the left next to the date.
Information relating to the time entry is displayed while hovering over the item, or to the right of the pill if there are no overlapping time entries for the period. However, if an overlapping entry is found, this information is not displayed and can be viewed by hovering over the item.
Timeline activity is shown on the right and is only visible to the logged-in user. This data allows you to quickly compare your actual time entries with your activity, and make any changes necessary in one view. The darker a blue pill is in the activity view, the more active you were during that period of 15-minutes.
Please note, we only display and store the 9 days of your timeline data in the desktop app. You can learn more about this feature here, and learn how to export your timeline data here.
1. Adding time entries in Timeline view
To add a new entry, click on that place in the timeline to create a new entry and add details.
Here you can add a description, choose a project and task, add tags just as while adding time in List-view.
2. Editing time entries in Timeline-view
To edit a time entry, click on it and a popup will open where you can edit details. You can also drag and drop an existing time entry to a different time of the day, or resize a pill to change the duration of the time entry.
3. Managing overlapping entries
When two entries overlap, you can right-click on the latter time entry to adjust the start or end time to remove the overlap. A menu will allow you to choose between updating the stop time of the first entry or updating the start time of the second one.
4. Filling in gaps
When there is a gap in your day, a pill with a dashed border will show the empty space between time entries. Clicking on it will create a time entry with the exact start and end time you need to fill in the gap.
Adding Projects in the Desktop app
Projects can be added while editing time entries, including the one currently running.
In the edit popup window, select “Add New Project”. From where you can define the project name, color (customizable colors available on paid plans only), workspace, and client. You can also enter the description for the entry you’re editing. When you’re done, click on the X button in the top right corner of the popup.
Syncing Data
Toggl Track syncs all your entries back to the web automatically. However, if there is an issue with the app connecting to our server you may have unsynced entries. For more details on how Toggl Track sync works, open this syncing article.
You will see a warning next to your entry in the form of a red exclamation mark in the center of a pink triangle. If this happens, navigate to the Menu bar, and click Account > Sync.
If the sync is unsuccessful, please log out and log back into the desktop. To avoid data loss, be sure to make note of any unsynced entries which will then need to be added manually.
Managing Preferences
To edit the settings of your desktop agent, just click Toggl Track in the menu bar and then choose Preferences.
Preferences are divided into 4 tabs and shown one section at a time. This is what you’ll see.
1. Preferences – General tab
Show/Hide Toggl: Set a global shortcut to show or hide the Toggl Track app. This will work even when the app is not in focus.
Continue/Stop Timer: Set a global shortcut to continue or stop the Toggl Track Timer. This will work even when the app is not in focus.
Idle detection: Get notified of the time that you’ve been inactive/away from the keyboard. The notification will popup after an X number of minutes as set in your preferences.
After the notification has popped up, you can decide whether you want to keep the time or discard it. Here’s what it looks like:
The popup has four options for you to choose from:
Discard idle time: Discards idle time, and stops the running timer from when you went idle.
Discard idle and continue: Discards the idle time, but starts a new time entry that matches the previously running timer so you can resume work.
Keep idle time: Ignores idle time, and adds it to the currently running time entry.
Add idle time as new time entry: Stops previously running timer, and adds idle time as a new time entry.
The Cancel button at the bottom will also ignore the idle time, and add it to the currently running time entry.
Pomodoro
Click the ‘Pomodoro Timer’ option to enable it and set your preferred intervals for both work and break cycles.
Clicking Continue at the end of a break cycle restarts the last time entry you were using. Clicking Continue at the end of a work cycle continues the running time entry.
Show Project on Menu Bar: View the Project for the current timer on the Menu bar next to the Toggl Track Icon
Show Dock Icon: Show/Hide Toggl Track icon on your dock.
Other configurable options:
Keep Toggl on top of other windows.
Stop running entry on computer sleep/shutdown.
Focus app on global shortcut. This will always put the app into focus when using the Continue/Stop timer shortcut.
Open Edit view when starting a time entry.
Default project: Pick one project that you use the most, and fill it in automatically whenever you start a time-entry without a project. If needed you can still change the project for both running and stopped time-entries.
Change duration when changing start time: Choose whether you want the duration updated when a time entry’s start time is updated.
Show Toggl in Touch Bar: feature to be removed soon
2. Preferences – Proxy tab
Under the Proxy tab, you can configure proxy settings if you happen to be behind a proxy.
If you tick the ‘Use system proxy settings’ checkbox, Toggl Track desktop app will use the same proxy settings you have set up for your system.
If you are struggling to connect our desktop app to the network, you can ignore SSL verification from the Proxy tab as well. Do note, this can make the app vulnerable to to man-in-the-middle attacks.
3. Preferences – Autotracker tab
Under the Autotracker tab you can define applications or keywords and projects they connect to.
If an application with the keyword is in the foreground it triggers the AutoTracker. When the tracker is triggered it shows you a notification and asks if you would like to track time under the project you chose. Keep in mind that the AutoTracker notification will only trigger if you do not have a timer already running.
4. Preferences – Reminder tab
Under the Reminder tab, you’re able to customize your tracking reminders. These reminders are triggered when the Toggl Track desktop app is running but there are no running entries. This tab allows you to set the days on which the reminders are active as well as the time of day when they can trigger.
Note: If can't see any notifications from our desktop app, please make sure that Do Not Disturb is off.
Keyboard Shortcuts and MacOS TouchBar Integration
Toggl Track desktop app sports several keyboard shortcuts for fast time entry, and also supports the Macbook Pro Touch Bar.
Keyboard Shortcuts
⌘ N creates a new time entry and displays the edit window
⌘ D changes between timer and manual mode
