Orchard

Orchard provides a native macOS graphical interface for managing containers through Apple’s container tooling. Built in Swift, it interacts with the container daemon via the ContainerAPIClient library over XPC, offering typed APIs for container, image, network, and system operations without invoking the command line. The app complements the existing `container` CLI, allowing users to create, start, stop, force‑stop, and delete containers, as well as pull, search, and delete images from Docker Hub.

The interface includes real‑time statistics for CPU, memory, and network usage, sortable and persistent lists of containers and images, and a multi‑container log viewer with split panes, filtering, and colour coding. Network and DNS domain management are also available, and the application integrates into the macOS menu bar for quick access.

Targeted at developers and system administrators who work on macOS and prefer a desktop experience, Orchard runs on macOS 26 (Tahoe) and can be installed via Homebrew, a prebuilt DMG, or by building from source with Xcode and Swift Package Manager. The project is released under the MIT License.
