apple/container: A tool for creating and running Linux containers using lightweight virtual machines on a Mac. It's written in Swift, and optimized for Apple silicon.

Apple has released a new containerization tool written in Swift that runs Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines on Apple silicon Macs. The tool is OCI-compliant, works with standard container registries, and is optimized for Apple's hardware. It requires macOS 26 Beta 1 for full functionality, though it can run on macOS 15 with networking limitations. The tool includes installation packages, uninstall scripts, and comprehensive documentation for getting started.
