I don't think there are any plans for it, but I believe you can get the windows version running with wine. I do wish there was a native version though. I used to use a VM to run it, but with the M1 transition, that's no longer an option. How difficult would it be considering at least some of the code base can be ported from the iOS app.

there are allready sever threads about this topic

winbox (32 and 64) and also dude-client (32) work fine with CrossOver on MacOs including M1 ...

and really, the IOS app is no alternative for winbox.

M1 and M1 Pro / Max works fine with the latest Wine. No tricks needed. Just install and then open Winbox64.exe with Wine 6:

Why do I need to make a lot of things to get Winbox finally on macOS... Should be a native app for macOS ... may be I will need to do and jailbreak to download Winbox 3Mb? :D

Better to realize that winbox is for network engineers that are very poor and cannot afford mac desktops or laptops or are not provided such luxurious appliances by their bosses....... (only bosses get macbook pros, not the mere working minions). If lucky an MT enganeer or self made private Certified individual can afford an IPAD and thus uses MT IOS app!!!

Re Winbox under MacOS. I use Crossover with Winbox and that works absolutely perfectly. No need for a native version. They should rather put those dev resources somewhere else.
