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

Mac.apk is an alpha compatibility layer that runs Android apps directly on Apple Silicon Macs. Instead of an emulator, VM, or Linux kernel, it implements the Android application environment natively on macOS, so apps launch as ordinary Mac processes with Dock icons, resizable windows, dark mode support, and GPU rendering through Metal at native speed.

Why now: It was featured on Hacker News as 'Android apps running native on macOS,' and the pitch — no emulator, no VM — is notable; 51 of 65 tested apps are reportedly fully playable.

Who it is for: Apple Silicon Mac users who want to run Android apps or games natively without emulators like BlueStacks.
