Libmui is a macOS Classic widget lib for Linux
Not sure if I would post this for the last day of #marchintosh OR wait for tomorrow the 1st of April. Both apply equally. Anyway, here's a pet project of mine, I made it as a glued on for another pet project of mine, but it developed a life of it's own now and can soar skyward toward success, fame, and glory.
Libmui is a macOS Classic widget lib for Linux launched on March 31, 2024 with 300 votes, #122 of 4,270 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
Libmui is a widget library for Linux that recreates the visual style of macOS Classic. Originally developed as a component for another project, it has evolved into a standalone tool for developers who want to build applications with retro Mac aesthetics. The library provides pre-built interface elements designed to match the classic Mac appearance, making it useful for nostalgic or themed software projects on Linux systems.
