QuickLoad is probably my most-used piece of software. There's not a day that goes by that I don't fire it up several times. I run it on a 16" MacBook Pro.
No, it doesn't run natively on MacOS. You have to run a virtual machine like Parallels or VMWare Fusion (after years of running Fusion, I've been using Parallels the last couple of years). Or else Boot Camp.
For sure, I wish QuickLoad ran natively. But the virtual machine solution works just fine.
FWIW, GRT also does not run natively on Mac... only on Windows or Linux. You have to use a virtual machine for that one, as well.

thanks for the clarification on GRT.
I will not ad any software to my Apple that is non native.
Ok, so I have a new iPad Pro and I checked out the parallels app,
I don’t think I am understanding it looks like I would need to load quick load on a regular computer and then somehow I can access it with my iPad ?
I’m getting the feeling this isn’t going to work

No, QuickLoad is not going to work on your iPad Pro, John. The iPad is a fantastic device for consuming content (I keep dozens of movies and hundreds of books - not to mention a bunch of digital copies of Handloader Magazine - on mine). But you're going to need a regular computer to run QuickLoad.
Sorry!

QuickLoad isn't a CAD program, if that's what you mean. What it is is an internal ballistics program that allows you to model the major factors that influence the pressure curve and resulting velocity of a given round of ammunition.
It's very granular, and does allow you to change many case dimensions - but not everything. It doesn't have an input for shoulder angle, for instance. Take a look at the splash screen just below the table of contents on Rob Robinette's tutorial https://robrobinette.com/QuickLOAD.htm and you'll get an idea.

Quickload runs fine on any version of Parallels Desktop , i use it there over 5 years on MBpro and iMac and never had any problem with.
