Show HN: Davit, a Apple Containers UI

read original more articles

Davit talks directly to Apple's open-source container daemon over XPC — the same wire path the CLI uses. No Electron, no web views, no background agents of its own.

📦 Containers Start, stop, restart and delete with live CPU, memory and IP on every row. Streaming logs with follow & boot mode, live stat charts, and raw config inspection.

🖥️ One-click terminal Open an interactive shell in any running container, straight into Terminal or iTerm — over the native API, no CLI needed.

🪄 Edit & Recreate Containers are immutable — so Davit prefills a new one from the old config with the image's entrypoint and env subtracted, letting you change ports, env vars, mounts or resources in seconds.

💿 Images, volumes, networks Pull with live progress, run from any image, tag, prune. Create sized volumes and custom subnets. See what's in use before you delete it.

⚙️ Platform settings, editable Default CPU/memory for new containers, registry, DNS, builder resources — edited in the app, validated by the platform's own config loader, saved as clean TOML overrides.
