About the project

The user-space half of HackiOS: builds APFS root and system images with init, launchd jobs and parts of iOS 16.5 to run the unmodified iOS user space on Android hardware and in QEMU.

Useful for
  • Build root.apfs and system.apfs from an iOS 16.5 IPSW for booting in QEMU
  • Run a test scenario via RC_JOBS=rc.jobs.ssh using init instead of a shell
  • Analyze Metal shaders (AIR) with the tools in tools/air

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

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 22, 2026, 14:36 UTC.

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

Stars per day

02550October 22, 2026October 22, 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 2026-10-22 (UTC), 11:26–14:20: 120 → 161 stars (+41). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +57 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 0 days old and already has 161 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #154.
  • About 145 forks a day — people are taking the code.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @haxi0 (552 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.
