OpCore Simplify is an interactive command-line tool that streamlines the creation of OpenCore EFI configurations for Hackintosh systems. Instead of manually researching patches, kexts, and SMBIOS values for your specific hardware, OpCore Simplify detects your system configuration and generates a ready-to-use EFI folder automatically — supporting macOS High Sierra through macOS Tahoe across Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA hardware.Documentation Index

Installation
Download and set up OpCore Simplify on Windows, macOS, or Linux in minutes.
Quickstart
Build your first OpenCore EFI from hardware report to bootable EFI folder.
Hardware Support
Check which CPUs, GPUs, and macOS versions are supported by OpCore Simplify.
Troubleshooting
Diagnose and fix common issues during EFI generation and macOS installation.
How It Works
OpCore Simplify guides you through each step of the EFI creation process via an interactive menu:Export your hardware report
Run OpCore Simplify on Windows and choose E. Export hardware report, or use Hardware Sniffer on any platform to generate a
Report.json and ACPI dump of your system.Select your target macOS version
OpCore Simplify runs a compatibility check across your CPU, GPU, network, Bluetooth, and storage devices and suggests the best macOS version for your hardware.
Review and customize patches
Automatically selected ACPI patches and kexts can be reviewed and adjusted. SMBIOS model selection is optimized for performance and power management.
Key Features
Hardware Compatibility Checker
Validate every device in your system against supported macOS versions before building.
Automatic ACPI Patches
SSDTTime-powered and custom patches selected automatically based on your hardware.
Kext Management
Intelligent kext selection with automatic updates from Dortania Builds and GitHub releases.
SMBIOS Configuration
Optimized Mac model selection with generated serial numbers, MLB, and UUID.
OCLP Integration
Full support for OpenCore Legacy Patcher to re-enable dropped GPUs and Wi-Fi cards.
Cross-Platform
Runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux with no additional dependencies beyond Python.
OpCore Simplify significantly reduces EFI setup time, but a successful Hackintosh installation still requires understanding basic concepts from the Dortania OpenCore Install Guide and patience during testing and troubleshooting.
