Rocrail for Mac is free software for controlling model trains for macOS operating systems. Rocrail for macOS assumes all responsibilities for controlling a model railroad and its accessories. Trains can be either manually controlled or completely controlled by the software in automatic mode. A mixed operation, i.e. controlling some trains manually and other trains in fully automatic mode are possible.

With Rocrail different applications for a model train control can be met:

• Simply as a Dispatcher Panel for manually operating an analog or digital train
• or continuous digital operations, semiautomatic, or based on schedules or Automatic as well as
• control of car systems, ambient lighting systems (weather, time of day simulation), and other accessories

Various user interfaces to operate the tool are available:

• Rocview – the traditional user interface, installed with the app
• Rocweb – web client for all (also mobile) devices
• andRoc – for all Android-based devices
