Darling is a free and open-source macOS compatibility layer for Linux. It duplicates functions of macOS by providing alternative implementations of the libraries and frameworks that macOS programs call. This method of duplication differs from other methods that might also be considered emulation, where programs run on Apple's proprietary operating system software in a virtual machine. Darling has been called the counterpart to WINE for running macOS apps.
