About

Container lets you create and run Linux containers on your Mac. You pull an image, start it, and get a Linux environment for testing or building, then remove it when you finish.

Each container runs in its own lightweight virtual machine. The tool works with OCI-compatible images, so you can pull from standard registries, push your own builds and run them in other compatible tools. It is written in Swift and optimized for Apple silicon, and it requires macOS 26.

Highlights

  • Run Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines
  • Pull and push OCI-compatible images from registries
  • Built in Swift for Apple silicon Macs on macOS 26

Who it's for

Good for developers on Apple silicon Macs who need quick Linux environments without a separate container app.
