ShardBrowser is a free, open-source antidetect browser for macOS, built natively for Apple Silicon. It uses the system traffic lights and title bar, stores profiles under Application Support and runs the patched browser engine as a separate process per profile.

The release is not signed with an Apple Developer ID, so Gatekeeper may report that Apple cannot verify the app. On macOS 14 and later it may instead say the app is damaged. Both messages go away after removing the quarantine attribute once in Terminal:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/ShardX.app"

Right-click the app, choose Open and confirm once. Later launches open normally.
