Interesting tools

Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.

Davit

Native macOS Container GUI.

What we like

Manage Apple Containers via the UI. Open a shell inside any container. Supports volumes, images, networks. Built-in file browser. View container stats and inspect container details. Native macOS app, not Electron.

What we don't like

Not a Docker replacement - it’s Apple’s own implementation. Try OrbStack if you need that (and other things like VMs).

ZeroFS

Log-structured filesystem for S3.

What we like

Makes S3-compatible buckets appear as POSIX filesystems or raw block devices. Supports NFS, 9P, NBD. Use ZFS to mirror across regions. Segments are immutable, compressed, encrypted. Local caching. Optional web dashboard and file manager.

What we don't like

AGPL licensed by default, alternative available on a commercial basis.
