OrbStack is a native macOS application that replaces Docker Desktop, providing an all-in-one environment for running Docker containers, full Linux virtual machines, and local Kubernetes clusters. It runs Linux VMs directly on the macOS hypervisor framework for near-native performance, uses VirtioFS for fast bidirectional file sharing between macOS and Linux, and leverages Rosetta for near-native x86 emulation on Apple Silicon. The system assigns predictable local domain names to containers and VMs with automatic HTTPS certificate generation, forwards ports via event-driven updates, and stores

VirtualBuddy is a graphical user interface and manager for creating and running macOS virtual machines on Apple Silicon. It serves as an interface for the native Apple Virtualization Framework, allowing users to provision and boot guest operating systems on ARM-based hardware. The tool provides a dedicated environment for managing virtual machine administration and software compatibility testing across different macOS versions. It enables the execution of guests via local files, remote URLs, or image catalogs, and supports booting into recovery mode for system repairs. The system covers hard

vphone-cli is a command line interface for booting virtual iOS devices using Apple's native virtualization framework. It provides a sandboxed virtual mobile environment and tools for executing iOS system images on a host operating system. The project includes a firmware flashing utility capable of building signed ramdisks and applying custom firmware patches to virtual device boot chains. It facilitates the installation of custom firmware variants to remove system security restrictions. The toolset covers virtual device provisioning through system image restoration and security blob retrieva

Tart is an Apple Silicon virtualization manager used to build and run macOS and Linux virtual machines using native hardware virtualization frameworks. It functions as a virtual machine cluster orchestrator and an ephemeral runner for executing continuous integration pipeline steps within isolated, short-lived environments. The system utilizes an OCI-compatible virtual machine registry to push and pull images via standardized container registries. It features a controller-worker architecture that schedules virtual machine lifecycles across remote worker nodes, incorporating a secure SSH jump

m1n1 est un bootloader bas niveau pour le matériel Apple Silicon basé sur ARM64. Il sert d'outil de firmware et d'environnement d'expérimentation pour charger des noyaux externes et des systèmes d'exploitation non natifs. Le projet permet l'exécution de charges utiles binaires concaténées contenant des noyaux, des device trees et des ramdisks. Il fournit une plateforme pour l'expérimentation de firmware et le déploiement de noyaux personnalisés sur les puces Apple Silicon. Le système couvre l'abstraction matérielle bas niveau, incluant l'accès aux registres mappés en mémoire, la transmission de device trees et le bootloading par étapes. Il inclut également un débogage série via UART pour les journaux système et le dépannage.
