hyper-linux
Run Linux binaries on macOS Apple Silicon without Docker or VMs
Visit hyper-linux.app ↗What is hyper-linux?
hyper-linux is a lightweight runtime that executes Linux ELF binaries on macOS by translating syscalls to native macOS calls. It supports both aarch64 and x86_64 architectures, with millisecond startup times and native hardware speed. The tool is distributed as a single 250KB binary with no daemon or dependencies required.
Designed for developers who need to run Linux software on Apple Silicon Macs, hyper-linux implements approximately 170 Linux syscalls including I/O, networking, threading, and process management. It supports both statically and dynamically linked binaries, real threading with 1:1 host mapping, and direct filesystem access. The maker says it was built with Claude Code.
