Owl

Owl is a portable Wayland compositor written in Objective-C, using Cocoa as its backend. Owl primarily targets macOS, but also supports other operating systems via GNUstep.

Owl makes it possible to run Wayland clients inside macOS's native Quartz graphics environment, similar to XQuartz for X11.

Status

This is a fork with a fixed build system (meson, replacing the old configure script). The original project is unmaintained.
