    LisaGUI recreates Apple’s Lisa interface in your browser

    LisaGUI is a JavaScript-based recreation of Apple's Lisa computer interface that runs in browsers. Unlike emulators, it faithfully reproduces the Lisa Office System's unique document-centric approach, where users work directly with stationery templates rather than traditional programs. The project showcases the Lisa's innovative UI concepts that predated the Macintosh, including document-focused workflows without save/load dialogs and a radically different approach to multitasking. The recreation allows developers and enthusiasts to experience the historically significant but commercially unsuccessful system that influenced modern desktop computing.

The app supports Apple Watch Series 4 or later with watchOS 10+, maintains end-to-end encryption, and displays clearer images and stickers. This follows WhatsApp's recent expansion to iPad and comes after Snapchat's similar Apple Watch app launch earlier this year.

Apple will also launch M5-powered MacBook Air and Pro models around the same timeframe.
