About the project

A script that builds a native macOS app from your own copy of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (XCI/NSP) for Apple silicon: the game's ARM64 code runs directly, graphics rebuilt on Metal 4.

Useful for
  • Build a .app from your own game XCI and prod.keys with one build_app.py command
  • Run the game on an Apple silicon Mac with Metal 4 without an emulator
  • Prewarm the shader cache during the first build to reduce stuttering

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

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 18, 2026, 11:55 UTC.

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

Stars per day

02550October 17, 2026October 18, 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 2026-10-18 (UTC), 11:05–11:46: 132 → 168 stars (+36). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +65 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 1 day old and already has 168 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #125.
  • About 248 forks a day — people are taking the code.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @YukiCoco (347 followers).

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.
