Our little corner

Built on good roots.
Growing in new directions.

Stubuika is an experimental compatibility runtime that loads Android app packages straight onto a desktop host. It translates ARM guest code and bridges selected Android services, graphics, audio, and media to your computer.

It is a downstream fork and continuation of Lunaria, originally created by Yuichiro Nakada. Lunaria is the foundation of this work; Stubuika carries that project forward with its own direction and community.
