While PureDarwin's development has been relatively slow, the project continues to move forward thanks to contributions from the community. PureDarwin is focused on creating a usable boot system that is independent of macOS components and relies solely on Darwin and other open source tools. The main goal of the project is to provide useful documentation and make it easier for developers and open source enthusiasts to interact with Darwin.
