===CrossOver Mac===
In 2005, [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] announced a transition from [[PowerPC]] to [[Intel]] processors in their computers, which allowed CodeWeavers to develop a [[Mac OS X]] version of CrossOver Office called 'CrossOver Mac'<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://www.codeweavers.com/about/general/press/?id=20050622 |title=CodeWeavers Expands Developer Services, Enabling Future Windows Application Porting To Mac OS |publisher=CodeWeavers |location=SAINT PAUL, MN |date=June 22, 2005 |accessdate=2009-01-03}}</ref>

CrossOver Mac was released on January 10, 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://slashdot.org/story/07/01/10/1924235/codeweavers-releases-crossover-6-for-mac-and-linux |title=CodeWeavers Releases CrossOver 6 for Mac and Linux |publisher=Slashdot |date=January 10, 2007 |accessdate=2020-01-18}}</ref> With the release of CrossOver Mac 7 on June 17, 2008, CrossOver Mac was divided into Standard and Pro editions like CrossOver Linux. The Standard version included six months of support and upgrades, while the Pro version included one year of support and upgrades, along with a bundled copy of CrossOver Games. With the release of CrossOver Mac 11 in 2012 these different editions were all merged into a single CrossOver Mac product.

In 2019, [[macOS Catalina]] went 64-bit only and eliminated support for 32-bit programs and libraries. In December 2019 Codeweavers released CrossOver 19, providing support for 32 bit Windows applications on an operating system with no 32 bit libraries solving this problem.<ref>{{cite web |title=So We Don't Have a Solution for Catalina...Yet|last=Schmid|first=Jana |url=https://www.codeweavers.com/blog/jschmid/2019/9/10/so-we-dont-have-a-solution-for-catalinayet |website=CodeWeavers |language=en}}</ref> The technique, known as "wine32on64", requires using modified [[LLVM]] to build additional [[thunk]] code that allows running 32-bit programs in a 64-bit wine.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Thomases |first1=Ken |title=win32 on macOS |url=https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2019-December/156602.html |date=December 11, 2019}}</ref>
