Is there a way to use Storyline 360 on a Mac?
I'm new to Articulate360. I love the platform but I'm realizing that there's some amazing stuff that can only be created in Storyline. But I don't have Windows. Is there a way to use Storyline on an Apple computer? Or a way to use it online as Rise?
Thanks for your support!

Same - just saw what amazing things I could be doing with my students with this platform - however it is not Mac friendly and I don't have time to figure out or spend money on making it work. It amazes me that in today's tech - your company is missing such a HUGE audience with this limitation.
i read these posts from a year ago. is a mac version available yet? baffling to me that it's not.
Still no Mac version? It is 2020! Please ...
Seriously!
What's crazy is how dedicated Mac users are to their Macs AND to Articulate. As good as Articulate is, its not like there aren't competitors out there who provide an equally good solution that works on native Mac (or even perhaps a better solution depending on what is important to you). Maybe its times to just move forward and onward? Or as I've seen pointed out, Rise works just fine on the Mac.
Yup...DITTO!!!!!!!! MAC version .PLLLLLLLEASSEE!
I don't think it's seamless to work between parallels and Mac environment. Switching between the two multiple times during the day isn't ideal. It's been way too long and plenty of time to get a native Mac version. What's the update?
Hello Sharon and welcome to E-Learning Heroes 😊
While we haven't announced plans for a native Mac version of Storyline, we are continuing to track the requests.
Many members of our team, myself included, use Parallels to run a Windows environment on a Mac. We'd love to help keep your development running smoothly: Check out our best practices for using Articulate software on a Mac with Parallels here. Or, reach out to our Support Engineers here.
You guys keep saying g that you’re all using parallels on your system and everything works perfectly. You’re definitely lying. There is zero chance that you have built tons of modules on a Mac using parallels and haven’t had major systems crashes and data loss. I tried doing the parallels for a year and it crashed my computer 3 times where the processor crashed because you’re running two full operating systems. Just listen to the thousands of requests to build the Mac version. If any other comparable software released on Mac native you guys would immediately lose all of your customers who develop on a Mac. Come on guys get us a legit reason that you don’t think that this would immediately benefit your company
I have used storyline on a Mac using parallels and have produced 100+ modules a year for over 10 years. No data loss or major issues.
Never used it on a PC Until this year and still prefer to use it on a Mac.
I would love a native version but would need to have 100% of the features I just don’t see it happening and happy to continue with parallels.

Is there an update on Storyline for Mac. I won't run a virtual environment on my Mac - been there, done that and it's a nightmare. Unfortunately this will make my decision to not take out a Articulate 360 subscription.
Was just about to sign-up but no Mac version = I'm out. This is the 21st Century and I don't need / want Parrallels etc. REALLY disappointing :(
My whole team of IDs globally use macs, so having us run Parallels and isn't an option. A native mac app would be great. I knew this was the case many years ago and I'm shocked that there still isn't a mac app.
