> Boots iOS and macOS (Darwin) in QEMU to a root shell for kernel debugging and running custom programs. Not a full iPhone/Mac emulator: no screen, Wi-Fi or GUI, just a command line.

## Useful for

- Debug the Darwin or SPTM kernel by booting it in QEMU
- Compile and run your own program as root without jailbreak
- Edit the root filesystem of the emulated device

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-05 (UTC), 00:13–23:43: 1191 → 1195 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
- The repository is 39 days old and already has 1,195 stars.

## 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: 107
- Issues and pull requests: 12
- Watchers: 7
- Average over the last week: 4 per day
- Usual pace: 10 per day

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.
