Davit is a free, open-source macOS application for managing Apple's native Linux container platform on Apple Silicon. Built with SwiftUI, it communicates directly with Apple's Container API without requiring Docker Desktop or Electron. Users can create, start, stop, inspect, and delete containers through a graphical interface. Its dashboard displays resource consumption, running services, and available disk space. Integrated tools provide live logs, terminal access, file browsing, and CPU and memory statistics. Davit also manages container images, storage volumes, networks, and lightweight virtual machines. Docker Compose importing and image building simplify container deployment. Command-line tools, registry authentication, and automatic startup options support development workflows.
