Many developers at Google work on interesting open-source projects, some full time, some in their 20% time. This page is a collection of several such Mac-related projects.
Some of these projects, like MacFUSE, are mature and supported. Others are unsupported technology demos that we provide solely for experimentation and entertainment.
