Instructions in this documentation assume macOS 12 or later. Other macOS versions might work, but have not been tested.

You can use Qt Onboard on macOS with both Intel processors and Apple silicon.

Installing platform dependencies

Qt Onboard is using Docker-based toolchains on macOS. This means that before attempting to install Qt Onboard from Qt Online Installer, you must have Docker Desktop installed and running. You can also use Homebrew to install it.

Qt Creator provides support for using Docker toolchains in the same way as normal toolchains.
