ly05010419/MacNativeGames

Play your own Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild natively on Apple silicon Mac, iPhone and iPad. Not an emulator: the game's ARM64 code runs directly, NVN rebuilt on Metal. Bring your own game.

raullenchai/Rapid-MLX

A faster local inference server for coding agents on Apple Silicon — Rapid-MLX is an Apache 2.0, OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible inference server built on MLX, aimed at coding agents needing reliable tool calling. Benchmarks show it decoding faster than Apple's mlx-lm, oMLX, and LM Studio on the same Qwen weights, making it worth a look for local-LLM Mac users.

Rapid-MLX is an open-source (Apache 2.0) OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible LLM inference server for Apple Silicon, built on MLX, focused on reliable tool calling for coding agents. Up to 4× faster than Apple's MLX (mlx-lm) on the same weights.

kksimp/Mac.apk

Android apps on Apple Silicon Macs without emulation — Mac.apk runs Android apps as native macOS processes on Apple Silicon—no emulator, VM, or Linux layer underneath. Apps get real Dock icons, resizable windows, GPU rendering, and dark mode support. It's alpha software, useful for Mac users curious about running Android apps directly, with a compatibility list tracking which apps work.

Mac.apk: Run Android apps natively on Apple Silicon Macs

youssofal/MTPLX

Native MTP speculative decoding speeds up local LLMs on Apple Silicon — MTPLX runs Qwen 3.8 Flash Next, Qwen 3.8 27B and Ternary Bonsai 2 27B on Macs using the models' own multi-token prediction heads for exact, batched speculative decoding. It reports roughly 2x decode speed over plain decoding, with a 27B model fitting on 16 GB Macs, via an OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible local server for tools like OpenCode.

The fastest way to run Qwen 3.8 Flash Next, Qwen 3.8 27B and Ternary Bonsai 2 27B on a Mac: 125 tok/s in OpenCode on an M5 Max, and a 27B model on 16 GB Macs. Native MTP speculative decoding on Apple Silicon, exact at any temperature. OpenAI and Anthropic compatible local server.

Your iPhone helps your Mac run a 27B model: faster prompt reading and more context over a USB-C cable

opennookorg/betterwispr

Free, open-source, local-first dictation app for macOS. Hold a shortcut, speak, and text is typed into any app. On-device speech-to-text with Whisper, Parakeet and Apple speech. Private, offline, open-source Wispr Flow alternative.

Nongfsq/ftop

A small, quiet system monitor for Apple Silicon Macs: one floating glass panel that works at any size.

dsmurrell/onkey

A Mac singing trainer that learns melodies by just listening — OnKey listens to whatever plays in Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube, separates the vocal, and teaches itself the melody after one play through. Later plays sync live from the audio alone, scrolling notes show your pitch against the original, and you get a per-line score. It's a free, open-source, on-device alternative to subscription karaoke apps, built for Apple Silicon Macs.

Learn to sing the songs you love. A free, open-source singing trainer for Mac that listens to the music you play.

ymcrcat/rgpu

Offload PyTorch tensors to a remote NVIDIA GPU, no CUDA on client — rGPU lets a PyTorch script run on a Mac or any CUDA-less laptop while tensor ops execute on a remote NVIDIA machine over TCP. It offers a simple `rgpu` device for PyTorch code plus a CUDA shim covering existing Linux CUDA binaries, including libcuda, cuBLAS and cuDNN.

Keep Python on your laptop. Run PyTorch operations and hold tensors on a remote GPU, including from a Mac with no CUDA installation.

watzon/sayso

Cross-platform dictation that keeps speech recognition on-device — Sayso is a Rust/GPUI dictation app for macOS, Windows, and Linux that pastes transcribed speech into any focused app via a hotkey. It runs local models (Parakeet, Whisper variants, SenseVoice, and more) using WhisperKit, transcribe-rs, or sherpa-onnx, with optional cloud transcription and AI-powered text styling if you add your own API key.

Dictation that runs on your own computer. Press a key, speak, and the text lands in the app you are using. Free and open source, for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
