Our review
What we like
It’s fast - launches within ~2 seconds vs Docker Desktop > 10 seconds. Speediness also extends to launching containers - uses Rosetta x86 emulation and modern i/o APIs on macOS to optimize performance. Native UI. Also supports creating Linux VMs with Intel emulation. Very low CPU usage.
What we don't like
Obviously macOS only. Doesn’t fully implement all Docker Desktop features e.g. directly browsing container files is not implemented in the UI.
