Console’s review

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.

Tradeoffs

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

Source and notes
