winbox-mac is MikroTik Winbox bundled into macOS app with Wine. Wine is compiled by Gcenx with minimal set of dependencies. Icon is provided by Lucas di Lucca. This is not official MikroTik build and is not related to Mikrotik in any way.
Mikrotik has released Winbox 4 in beta, which is cross platform and includes a native macOS version. You can download it from https://mikrotik.com/download. The native version is the preferred, fully supported way to run Winbox on macOS. Due to the new version being cross platform, and the difficulties in maintaining a Wine-based version, the necessity and feasibility of continuing to support winbox-mac is being reviewed as new versions of Winbox 4 and macOS are released. Discussion about this is tracked in issue #155.

brew install --cask nrlquaker-winboxRecommended way to update is to use Homebrew Cask:
brew update
brew upgrade --cask nrlquaker-winbox
