Dory 0.2.0: the first public release worth pointing your docker CLI at.

What is Dory? A free, open-source alternative to Docker Desktop and OrbStack for Apple silicon: one native SwiftUI app that runs every container in a single shared Linux VM, ~4.7× less idle memory than per-container VMs (methodology).

Downloads

Asset What it is
Dory-0.2.0.dmg Notarized installer, drag to Applications. Start here.
Dory-0.2.0.zip Same app, zipped (what Homebrew installs)
Dory-0.2.0-selfcontained.zip Experimental: bundles the VM engine so no toolchain install is needed (~63 MB)

Or: brew install --cask Augani/dory/dory

Highlights

  • Shared-VM engine: one persistent Linux micro-VM hosts every container; your home directory is shared in via virtiofs so -v ~/project:/app just works; x86 images run via emulation
  • A real Docker socket: ~/.dory/dory.sock with a dory context; docker / docker compose work unchanged
  • Guided first launch, including a one-click install of Apple's container toolchain if it's missing
  • Kubernetes: one-click k3s with selectable versions, cluster browser, pod exec, apply YAML
  • Linux machines: Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora/Alpine/Arch with snapshots and ready-to-code use-case recipes (Node, Python & ML, Go, Rust, Java, DevOps)
  • *.dory.local domains + local HTTPS for every container, consent-gated
  • Compose: .env interpolation, depends_on ordering, service_healthy waits
  • Migration from Docker Desktop / OrbStack, live stats, embedded terminal, menu-bar agent mode, launch animation, and a new logo 🐟

Requirements: universal app for Intel and Apple silicon, macOS 15+. The standalone engine needs Apple silicon on macOS 26 (Tahoe); Intel Macs pair Dory with any Docker-compatible engine (Colima, Docker Desktop, Rancher Desktop, Podman).
