About
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.
AI Summary
Container is an open-source tool that enables the creation and management of Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines on Apple silicon Macs. It supports standard OCI images and requires macOS 26.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
