What is TurboWarp?
TurboWarp Desktop gives Scratch creators a local workspace for building games, animations and interactive stories on a Mac. Arrange code blocks, edit costumes and sounds, and run projects in the same editor. Its compiler runs projects as JavaScript, while addons provide editing tools such as a find bar, searchable dropdowns and folders.
Beyond the standard Scratch workflow, TurboWarp offers configurable frame rates and stage sizes, custom extensions and a backpack for reusing scripts, costumes, sounds or sprites. The built-in packager can turn projects into HTML files, ZIP archives or applications for Windows, macOS and Linux.
The linked download is the regular macOS 12-or-later DMG, not a legacy build or the Mac App Store edition. Open the disk image and drag TurboWarp into Applications. Manually downloaded copies are updated by replacing the app with a newer download; the publisher offers automatic updates through the separate Mac App Store edition. Macs running macOS 10.13 through 11 need separate legacy packages. TurboWarp is not affiliated with the Scratch Team.
What it offers
