This Paolo Fabio Zaino's Blog post from 2015 explains how to run Applications in a Mac OS X sandbox. MacOS has a build in Sandbox feature which may help you but does not exactly have the same functionality as Sandboxy.

So is there any way to do this on a Mac without using a VM? Also, I'm not sure if it is 100% accurate for normal apps, anyway. However, this doesn't do anything for files the program (perhaps maliciously?) modified, and if you install a program with administrative privileges or a package, it most likely will install files in the system that AppCleaner won't be able to get out.

Use AppCleaner to remove files the program left behind.

Use a VM to run it in however, I'd like to avoid doing this as it complicates matters greatly.

After using it, restore from the backup and everything will come out intact as it was before.

Make a Time Machine backup, and then install the program.

On macOS, there are three(ish) ways to do this I know of: At least, that's how I understand it works. In a way, it's like a system restore when you restore the system to a previous point in this case, it would only restore the files that the program in question affected, so is much easier to use. This removes all the files created by the program and restores modified files to their previous state. With Sandboxie for Windows, you are able to run applications that you don't entirely trust in a sandbox it tracks all files the program creates and modifies, and although the files technically go to the system, you can roll back the changes by deleting this sandbox.
