contained-app
A native macOS app for Apple's Container CLI
What is it?
What it is
Contained is a native macOS control surface for Apple's `container` CLI, providing a SwiftUI-based interface for managing containers, images, volumes, networks, registries, logs, templates, and app-managed health/restart behavior while exposing the underlying CLI commands.
Why it exists
To give macOS users a polished, Mac-first SwiftUI interface for Apple's container CLI that simplifies container workflows, offers rich personalization (Liquid Glass cards, nicknames, icons), reveals CLI commands before execution, and keeps user container resources clean by storing metadata locally.
Who should use it
Teams building with Swift who want an open-source, self-hosted option.
Who should avoid it
Teams that need a fully managed SaaS with enterprise SLAs out of the box.
