XTads is a TADS 2/3 interpreter for macOS (version 10.12 and higher). It's a GUI application, with native macOS look and feel. Game output is text-only, with partial support for HTML TADS features.

2020-07-30: pre-beta 13 is out, with more bug fixes.

2020-06-30: pre-beta 12 is out, with improved support for text/background colors, bug fixes.

2020-02-23: pre-beta 11 is out, with improved support for HTML TADS features, performance improvements and bug fixes.

2018-02-10: pre-beta 9 is out, with minor feature additions and UI tweaks.

2017-12-23: pre-beta 8 is out, with minor feature additions and performance fixes.

2017-11-12: pre-beta 7 is out, fixing some issues related to macOS 10.13 (High Sierra).

2017-10-26: pre-beta 6 is out, adding support for more-prompts in banners, and a few bug fixes.

2017-08-10: pre-beta 5 is out, fixing a rather nasty performance issue.

2017-08-02: pre-beta 4 is out, with a couple of fixes:

  • Changing the background colour of the main output area didn't work.

  • Support for banners (well, except more-prompts)
  • Full support for the <tab> tag
  • Improvements to text formatting
