Work/Apps & systems/iOS platform
RxOS
An Android workspace that runs on iPhone and iPad — my fork of the open-source Kernarium runtime, with its own launcher, browser and Live Activity.
Your Android. Your iPhone.
RxOS opens straight into Android. There’s no disk image to pick and no Boot button: the app creates its instance with sensible CPU and memory defaults, starts the guest and gets out of the way.
It’s built on Kernarium, an open-source project that runs a real Linux kernel natively on iOS. My work is the product on top: the RxOS host app, RxOS Home — a dedicated Android launcher with a live clock, app search and a dock — RxOS Browser, and a Live Activity that puts the session on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen.
It’s in active development and there is no signed release yet. The screens here are the interface preview.

Zero-setup start
Open the app and Android boots. Existing instances keep their apps and data.
RxOS Home
A dedicated launcher with a large live clock, rounded app tiles, search and a four-app dock.
Live Activity
The session shows on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen; tapping it opens Android’s own notification panel.
Feels native
The guest fills the whole display and reads the iPhone’s battery level and charging state.
