Native macOS app for Docker and local container runtimes
Native macOSContainer Manager for Apple Silicon
Install Docker, Apple Container, or both. HoneyContainer detects the available runtimes and provides one native Mac interface for creating, running, inspecting, and troubleshooting their containers. HoneyContainer is a management application—not a container runtime—and does not replace or bundle Docker or Apple Container.
HoneyContainer is an independent application and is not endorsed by Apple Inc. or Docker, Inc.
Beyond the standard container GUI
The Tools Other Interfaces Leave Out
HoneyContainer goes beyond basic management with practical, Mac-native workflows that keep files, terminals, environments, and credentials close at hand.
GUI File Browser
Browse a container’s filesystem visually and copy files in or out without memorizing paths or reaching for command-line utilities.
Terminal, Your Way
Launch container commands quickly in your terminal of choice—iTerm2, Ghostty, or Terminal—so you can move from visual inspection to hands-on work instantly.
Environment Configuration
Save and reuse environment configurations across container runs with support for key-only modewill inherit current shell env values for security.
AWS Credential Helper
Securely run containers locally with AWS credential helper support, allowing containers to access AWS services without exposing keys directly to the container.
System Requirements
HoneyContainer is optimized for modern Apple hardware, macOS, and local Docker-compatible container workflows.
