thumb|A Hackintosh running OS X Yosemite
A hackintosh (, a portmanteau of "hack" and "Macintosh"), sometimes referred to as OSx86, is a computer that runs Apple's operating system macOS on computer hardware that is not authorized for the purpose by Apple. This is due to the software license for macOS only permitting its use on in-house hardware built by Apple itself, in this case the Mac line.
