About:
lazycontainer is a terminal-based user interface (TUI) designed to simplify the management of Apple's native Virtualization.framework containers. It provides an interactive dashboard to view, start, stop, and inspect container instances without relying on complex CLI commands. The tool aims to bring a Docker-like workflow efficiency to Apple's lightweight virtualization technology.

Key Features:

Interactive TUI for real-time container monitoring
Simplified commands for start, stop, and delete operations
Log viewing and shell access integration
Native performance using Go

Use Cases:

Managing local development environments running in Apple VMs
Quickly inspecting container states and logs without memorizing flags
Running lightweight Linux environments on macOS

Alternatives:

Docker Desktop – Docker is heavier and requires a separate daemon; lazycontainer uses native macOS virtualization.
lima – Lima is powerful but CLI-focused; lazycontainer offers a visual interface.
