What is Darling?

Darling — macOS translation layer for Linux

Fast Darling runs macOS software directly without using a hardware emulator.

Free Like Linux, Darling is free and open-source software. It is developed openly on GitHub and distributed under the GNU GPL license version 3.

Compatible Darling implements a complete Darwin environment. Mach, dyld, launchd — everything you'd expect.

Easy to use Darling does most of the setup for you. Sit back and enjoy using your favorite software.

Native We aim to fully integrate apps running under Darling into the Linux desktop experience by making them look, feel and behave just like native Linux apps.
