I'm an Apple guy too and I would love to run RDSS on my iMac but the only way to do that is to partition the drive and install windows, then run RDSS via the windows partition on your mac. Not enough mac users I guess to make it worth Ted's time to port it over to OS X.

What I did was bought an HP all in one Pavillion windows PC for about $400 brand new and ran RDSS on that. You could put Windows on your iMac but you'd have to buy windows anyway and then something like Parallels if you didn't want to do a total dual boot like BootCamp would do. After you did all that you'd spend almost the same amount you would on a stand alone windows PC.

Now I'm running RDSS on a Surface Pro 4 Win10 tablet and it runs better on that than the desktop PC due to the electronic hard drive. With a standard hard drive RDSS was taking about 60 to 90 seconds to unpack a downloaded file, but on the tablet it takes less than 10 seconds due to the electronic drive. Put a wireless mouse on the tablet and you have the full functionality of a desktop Windows based PC. You can do everything the same.
