lgarron/folderify ★ 1950 52 APPLICATION

folderify is a macOS CLI tool that generates pixel-perfect native-style folder icons from a mask image (typically a PNG with a black design on transparent background). It produces .iconset directories and .icns files covering all standard icon sizes (16x16 through 512x512@2x) by compositing the mask with bundled folder template graphics via ImageMagick. The tool automatically adapts to the current macOS version (Big Sur or Tahoe style) and color scheme (light/dark), supports optional badges (alias, locked), and can assign the icon directly to a folder using AppleScript, fileicon, or Rez. The codebase is well-structured Rust with clean CLI argument parsing via clap, careful error handling, and comprehensive behavioral tests using Bun. It relies on external dependencies including ImageMagick, iconutil, and various macOS command-line utilities.

kholia/OSX-KVM ★ 23579 2033 APPLICATION

This repository provides a comprehensive set of scripts, configuration files, and precompiled bootloader components to run macOS as a guest operating system on Linux hosts using QEMU/KVM and the OpenCore bootloader. It is not a traditional application but rather an infrastructure-as-code project that automates the creation of a virtual Hackintosh environment. The codebase includes a Python script (`fetch-macOS-v2.py`) to download macOS recovery images from Apple's servers with cryptographic verification, shell scripts to launch QEMU with the appropriate CPU flags, firmware, and device emulation, and a set of OpenCore EFI binaries (kexts, drivers, ACPI tables, icons) tailored for macOS compatibility. The project also documents GPU passthrough, USB passthrough, kernel debugging, and reverse engineering of macOS VM detection. While the repository is highly popular and actively maintained, the code quality is uneven: many shell scripts are boilerplate-heavy with hardcoded paths, and the prebuilt binaries are opaque, making the project more of a curated recipe collection than a polished software product. The most reusable components are the macOS downloader script and the OpenCore disk image builder, which can be extracted and adapted for other virtualization workflows.
