About this product

Container creates and runs Linux containers as lightweight VMs on a Mac. Written in Swift for Apple silicon, it gives each container its own VM instead of one shared VM. It pulls, builds and pushes standard OCI images, so any registry works. Open source under Apache 2.0. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 26. For developers who run Linux workloads on a Mac and want a native, Apple-made option.
