Is it safe to download WineBottler?

I want to run some games and apps that only run on windows. I have a MacBook Pro 13 Inch 2019 model. I have used WineBottler before on an older MacBook but I don't know if it is still safe to download and use these days. I have found the official website of the WineBottler app and I really need to use an app like that. I can't use bootcamp to boot into another operating system (which is windows) because I don't have a lot of space on my MacBook Pro. Please help me!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

Sure you can try it and see how it works for you: https://winebottler.kronenberg.org/


I have heard nothing nefarious about it.
