  • build-emacs-for-macos

    Somewhat hacky script to automate building of Emac.app on macOS.

  • You can build your own feature/native-comp emacs with https://github.com/jimeh/build-emacs-for-macos. That’s what I’ve been running for two weeks and it’s fine on a 2012 mini with a core i7 cpu. It seems faster subjectively, but I have not done any profiling. Emacs has built-in support for profiling.

  • homebrew-emacsmacport

    Emacs mac port formulae for the Homebrew package manager

  • I recently discovered that the emacsmacport provides a new flag for building Emacs with metal support in macOS: Link to the formula.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
