# UTM Snapshot Manager

This is a companion app for the popular MacOS virtual machine host [UTM](https://github.com/utmapp/UTM) to manage snapshots for existing virtual machines. UTM itself doesn't give access to that functionality so far; however the QEMU hypervisor, on which UTM is based, offers [snapshot management](https://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/virt/lc-2012/snapshots-handout.html). This project is more intended as proof-of-concept for that functionality and less as a releasable product – especially it doesn't support taking live snapshots and doesn't come with a precompiled release binary (since I don't have a paid Apple Developer subscription to create an app package signed for distribution). However it should be perfectly possible to just download and compile it out of the box.
