macify

The macOS Look for Ubuntu
macify supports Ubuntu 22.04 and newer with the GNOME desktop. One script - themes, icons, cursors, dock and blur.
Ubuntu GNOME with macify applied - WhiteSur dark theme, macOS-style dock and windows

Preview from the WhiteSur theme macify installs

๐Ÿš€ Install macify

$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rockharshitmaurya/macify/main/install.sh)"

Paste that in a terminal on Ubuntu. The script shows every step, skips what's already installed, and keeps a full log. Or clone the repo and run ./install.sh.

๐Ÿ”ง What Does macify Do?

๐ŸŽจ WhiteSur themes

Installs WhiteSur GTK, icon and cursor themes - the closest macOS look for GNOME - and applies them for you.

๐Ÿงฉ Extensions, auto-matched

Dash to Dock and Blur my Shell, downloaded straight from extensions.gnome.org and matched to your GNOME version. Extension Manager included for tweaking.

๐Ÿšข macOS-style dock

Bottom, centered, autohide, 48px icons. Window buttons move to the left - close, minimize, maximize, just like a Mac.

โ†ฉ๏ธ Easy to undo

No system files touched - only themes in your home directory and plain gsettings. A few reset commands bring stock Ubuntu back.

๐Ÿ” Safe to re-run

Idempotent: run it twice and it skips everything already installed. A second run finishes in seconds.

๐Ÿ“œ Nothing reinvented

macify only glues together great existing open-source projects - WhiteSur by vinceliuice, GNOME extensions by their authors. MIT licensed.
