About Darling
Darling is a runtime environment for running macOS applications on Linux without a virtual machine. It combines a Mach-O binary loader with a userspace darlingserver that implements Mach IPC, POSIX and Darwin syscall interfaces, plus reimplemented frameworks including Foundation, AppKit, CoreAudio and CoreFoundation. Many command-line tools already work, while graphical app support remains in active development.
