About the project

Henge is an emulator that runs macOS on iPhone and iPad by executing the Mac's arm64 code through its own JIT, MMU and virtual devices, without QEMU or Virtualization.framework. It downloads Apple's restore image and installs macOS directly on the device.

Useful for
  • Install macOS Sequoia on an iPhone or iPad via sideloaded Henge.ipa and run Mac apps on the device.
  • Drive the emulated Mac with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse on iPad, or use the screen as a trackpad.
  • Share a folder and clipboard between macOS and the device to move files and text.

6.1 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 9, 2026, 01:38 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0250500November 2, 2026November 9, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:02–01:28: 1117 → 1148 stars (+31). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +305 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 3.2× that of the previous 5 days.
  • The repository is 7 days old and already has 1,148 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • About 24 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 1,148.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
