Leviidev/Henge

Emulate macOS on iOS and iPadOS

Henge is an iOS/iPadOS app that runs macOS on iPhones and iPads without a Mac. It downloads Apple's restore image on-device, then emulates the Mac's arm64 code with its own JIT, MMU, and virtual devices, rendering via Metal. Touch acts as a trackpad, with keyboard/mouse, external display, clipboard sharing, and a shared folder.

Why now: It's trending on GitHub as a newly released, fast-growing project (859+ stars in about a week) thanks to a working demo: macOS boots to the lock screen on an iPhone 17 Pro and runs apps like Discord.

Who it is for: Jailbreak/sideload-savvy iPhone or iPad owners (A14/M1 or newer, iOS 17+) who want to experiment with running macOS on their device.
