# Leviidev/Henge

> 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.

## Why it’s here

- 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.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 86
- Issues and pull requests: 55
- Watchers: 9
- Average over the last week: 208 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 22
- Latest release: 0.2 (2026-11-07)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
