You can enable the menu bar extra icon in Preferences (Cmd+,) as well as disable the dock icon. A command line application is also provided in UTM.app/Contents/MacOS/utmctl (which you can symlink to /usr/local/bin/utmctl if desired) that can be used for automation tasks without needing to learn AppleScript. More functionality will be added in the future. Currently there is support for listing VMs as well as start/stop/suspend operations and the ability to print out the guest serial port connections. You can control parts of UTM through the OSA interface.

(macOS) AppleScript (OSA) support and CLI interface.

Note that it is recommended that TSO be disabled if you do not need to emulate x86_64 because it can reduce performance of other tasks. It can now be used on M1 iPads with QEMU to improve performance of FEX-Emu or a patched Rosetta.

TSO is used by Rosetta on the Mac to improve x86_64 emulation on ARM64. (iOS) TrollStore build now supports TSO (Total Store Ordering).Additionally, there is now in-app settings. (iOS) TrollStore build (UTM.HV.ipa) now supports JIT.Switching to Metal is highly recommended. New option to change the renderer backend to ANGLE Metal and limit FPS (in Preferences). Lots of bug fixes and stability improvements to GPU accelerated Linux VMs (most common crashes when GPU acceleration is enabled should be gone now). Also updated usbredir (0.13.0), virglrenderer (latest commit), ANGLE (latest commit)
