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 este un bootloader de nivel scăzut pentru hardware-ul Apple Silicon bazat pe ARM64. Acesta servește drept instrument de firmware și mediu de experimentare pentru încărcarea kernel-urilor externe și a sistemelor de operare non-native. Proiectul permite executarea de payload-uri binare concatenate care conțin kernel-uri, device tree-uri și ramdisk-uri. Oferă o platformă pentru experimentarea firmware-ului și implementarea de kernel-uri personalizate pe cipuri Apple Silicon. Sistemul acoperă abstractizarea hardware de nivel scăzut, inclusiv accesul la registre mapate în memorie, transmiterea device tree-ului și bootloading-ul pe etape. Include, de asemenea, depanare serială bazată pe UART pentru log-urile de sistem și depanare.
