Berthly

Berthly is a native macOS app for Apple's container — giving Apple's container tooling the Docker Desktop-style experience it's missing.

Features

• Images — List, pull from a registry, build from a Dockerfile, and inspect layers and metadata.
• Containers — Create and run containers, view details, and stream logs live.
• Machines — Create and manage VMs, set the kernel, and inspect resources.
• Networks & volumes — Create, list, and remove them without touching a terminal.
• Registries — Sign in to private registries and manage saved hosts.
• Integrated terminal — A real terminal attached to your containers, built on SwiftTerm.
• Command palette — Jump to any action with a keystroke (⌘K).
• Menu-bar presence — Quick status and controls without leaving what you're doing.
• Keyboard-first — ⌘K palette, ⌘1–6 section switching, ⌘⌥1–3 detail tabs, and full menu shortcuts for every action.

Beyond the CLI

• Drag-and-drop builds — Drag a Dockerfile/Containerfile from Finder onto the window to open the Build sheet pre-filled.
• Rebuild in one click — Every image build's context and flags are remembered.
• Live monitoring — Live CPU/memory/network charts per container, with favorites pinned to the menu bar.
• Watchtower-style image updates — Berthly periodically compares pulled tags against registries and badges stale images; "Recreate with Latest Image" pulls and rebuilds with volumes intact.
• Disk hygiene — Reclaimable-space badges on Images and Volumes, with one-click pruning.

Requirements

• Apple Silicon Mac
• macOS 26 or later
• Apple's container installed and running
