ravynOS is a new open source OS project that aims to provide a similar experience and some compatibility with macOS on x86-64 (and eventually ARM) systems. It builds on the solid foundations of FreeBSD, existing open source packages in the same space, and new code to fill the gaps.
The main design goals are:
- Source compatibility with macOS applications (i.e. you could compile a Mac application on ravynOS and run it)
- Similar GUI metaphors and familiar UX (file manager, application launcher, top menu bar that reflects the open application, etc)
- Compatible with macOS folder layouts (/Library, /System, /Users, /Volumes, etc) and perhaps filesystems (HFS+, APFS) as well as fully supporting ZFS
- Self-contained applications in App Bundles, AppDirs, and AppImage files - an installer-less experience for /Applications
- Mostly maintain compatibility with the FreeBSD base system and X11 - a standard Unix environment under the hood
- Compatible with Linux binaries via FreeBSD's Linux support
- Eventual compatibility with x86-64/arm64 macOS binaries (Mach-O) and libraries
- Pleasant to use, secure, stable, and performant

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
