- First launch: right-click the app and choose Open. If macOS still refuses, open System Settings › Privacy & Security and press Open Anyway. (Signed by me, not yet notarized with Apple, so macOS asks once.)
- Grant Accessibility when asked; Screen Recording too if you want the live previews. DualBox lives in the menu bar.

Running two World of Warcraft accounts on a Mac is legal; sending one keystroke to both of them is not. DualBox lives inside that line. It does the tedious part, arranging windows and getting your keyboard to the right one, and leaves every keypress to your own hand.
What it does
- Finds every running WoW client, whichever flavour, and lays them out: the window you are playing large with the other beside it, side by side, or stacked.
- One hotkey moves your keyboard to the next window. DualBox swallows that key so no game sees it. Jump keys go straight to window one, two or three.
- Live previews. Each window you are not playing gets a small floating mirror; click it to switch.
- A coloured border on the window that has your keyboard, and a name for each slot: Tank, Healer.
The rule it keeps
DualBox never broadcasts input, never mirrors a keypress, never clicks in a game. One key press goes to one game, by your hand, which is what Blizzard's multiboxing policy requires. It is a window manager with a very specific job.
Native SwiftUI, menu-bar only, macOS 14 and later. It needs Accessibility permission to move windows and Screen Recording for the previews.
