iContainer: native macOS manager for Apple Container workloads

What it is

iContainer is a native macOS app to manage Apple Container workloads — containers, images, logs, stats, and an interactive shell — built with SwiftUI on top of the official container CLI. It ships as a signed, notarized app with Sparkle auto-updates and a Homebrew tap, so it behaves like real shipping software, not a side project.

Built with vibes, full disclosure

The README says it plainly: "Full disclosure: iContainer was vibe-coded — designed and written hand-in-hand with Claude Code." A "Vibe-coded with Claude Code" badge sits right under the title. The ideas, direction, and every "no, not like that" are human; a lot of the typing isn't — and the author is upfront that it's a hobby project on brand-new Apple tech: "read the code, kick the tires, and don't run it anywhere you'd cry about."

Standout: on-device AI log analysis

One click on any container's or machine's Logs tab turns raw output into a concise diagnostic — health summary, quoted errors and warnings, likely cause, concrete next steps — streamed live. It runs on Apple's Foundation Models entirely on your Mac, so logs with their secrets and tokens never leave the device: no cloud, no API keys, no subscription. Plus Docker interop (import images, translate docker inspect configs into Apple Container settings) and a Docker Compose MVP.

Requirements

macOS 26 or later on Apple silicon, plus the Apple Container CLI. Apple Intelligence is optional — only needed for the on-device log analysis.
