Flash-broswer-for-Mac

Project Overview

Flash Browser is a native macOS app that supports Apple Silicon only, designed to run Flash content again on modern macOS. It relies on no legacy browser and needs no Rosetta translation, opening local SWF files directly. It offers basic controls for play, pause, zoom, and reset, making it a good way to revisit old Flash animations and games.

Bring Flash content back to life on Apple Silicon Macs.
