AndroidSDK
Full-fledged Android SDK Docker Image
AndroidSDK is a Docker-based development environment that provides a complete, portable Android SDK setup for building, testing, and deploying Android applications in a consistent and reproducible way. Instead of installing and configuring the Android SDK locally, developers can run a preconfigured container that includes essential tools such as the SDK, build tools, Gradle, and Kotlin compiler. This approach solves common issues related to environment inconsistency, such as dependency conflicts or differences between developer machines and CI pipelines. The project emphasizes minimalism and flexibility by shipping only a base SDK image, allowing developers to mount their own SDK components and customize installations as needed. It is particularly useful in continuous integration workflows, where deterministic builds and clean environments are critical. -

Android Emulator M1 Preview
Preview of some basic Android emulation functionality
android-emulator-m1-preview captured the early effort to bring the Android Emulator to Apple Silicon by targeting the ARM64 host and macOS virtualization APIs. The preview introduced native builds that avoid x86 translation, dramatically improving boot time, UI smoothness, and battery usage on M1-class Macs. It documented limitations typical of a preview—graphics features, sensor fidelity, and compatibility quirks—while outlining the path to parity with established macOS targets. Developers could test app installs, basic input, and network scenarios to validate their toolchains ahead of mainstream IDE support. The project also served as a staging ground for feedback on Hypervisor.framework usage, Metal rendering, and system image formats for ARM guests. Although superseded by stable emulator releases, it remains a useful historical reference for how Android tooling crossed the Apple Silicon transition. -

Boxedwine
Emulator that can run 32-bit Windows programs/games
Boxedwine is a cross-platform emulator that enables users to run Windows applications by combining a Wine runtime with a custom emulated Linux kernel and CPU environment. Instead of relying on a native Linux system, it creates a fully self-contained execution environment that allows Windows binaries to run on platforms such as macOS, Linux, Windows, and even web browsers via WebAssembly. The project is written primarily in C++ and leverages SDL for graphics and input handling, providing a flexible runtime capable of supporting a wide range of applications. It supports both 16-bit and 32-bit Windows programs, along with graphics APIs such as OpenGL, Direct3D, and Vulkan for rendering. One of its key innovations is portability, as it can run in environments that traditionally cannot support Wine, including browser-based deployments. While performance and compatibility vary depending on the application, it continues to evolve with improvements in memory usage and execution speed. -

Muon SSH Terminal/SFTP client
Graphical SFTP client and terminal emulator with helpful utilities
Easy and fun way to work with remote servers over SSH. This project is being renamed as previous name "Snowflake" is confusing since there is already a popular product with the same name. Muon is a graphical SSH client. It has an enhanced SFTP file browser, SSH terminal emulator, remote resource/process manager, server disk space analyzer, remote text editor, huge remote log viewer, and lots of other helpful tools, which makes it easy to work with remote servers. Muon provides functionality similar to web-based control panels but, it works over SSH from the local computer, hence no installation is required on the server. It runs on Linux and Windows. Muon has been tested with several Linux and UNIX servers, like Ubuntu server, CentOS, RHEL, OpenSUSE, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and HP-UX. The application is targeted mainly towards web/backend developers who often deploy/debug their code on remote servers and not overly fond of complex terminal-based commands. -
