Host DE and greeter — coming soon on macOS and Android; iOS/iPadOS via repo.wawona.io.

Coming soon / in development. Desktop and LockScreen replacement are not ready yet.

What this is

Make Wawona the host desktop environment and lock screen, with a Wawona machine picker. Machine profiles for these roles are native ports only.

This is not anowaW (the app bridge). Do not confuse the two.

iOS / iPadOS and repo.wawona.io
