About the project

A macOS app that runs Android (LineageOS) apps on Apple silicon Macs, each in its own window with its own Dock icon, using QEMU and scrcpy. It provides notifications, clipboard, gamepad support, and privacy controls without Google services.

Useful for
  • Run Android apps like native Mac apps with individual windows and Dock icons
  • Install APK files by double-clicking and launch them from Launchpad or Spotlight
  • Use a game controller in Android games via macOS controller forwarding

2.1 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 19, 2026, 20:58 UTC.

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

Stars per day

01020October 15, 2026October 19, 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 2026-10-19 (UTC), 19:59–20:53: 111 → 121 stars (+10). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +12 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 4 days old and already has 121 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #182.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

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.
