About the project
Mac.apk runs Android apps natively on Apple Silicon Macs without an emulator or virtual machine, launching them as ordinary macOS processes. It is aimed at Mac users who want to use Android apps directly on their desktop.
Useful for
- Install an APK and launch it as a native macOS window with Dock integration
- Test whether a specific Android app runs on Apple Silicon using the compatibility list
- Build Mac.apk from source to study or modify the Android framework reimplementation

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
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), 18:27–19:59: 160 → 301 stars (+141). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +163 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 2 per day.
- Hacker News: “Android apps running native on macOS” — 139 points, 3 h ago.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 16. -36% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust
Star growth looks organic. The magnitude is lowered, not zeroed:
- Fewer forks than usual: 4 for 301 stars.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
