This project is unrelated to [The Lima driver project (driver for ARM Mali GPUs)](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/lima).

## Motivation
## Project history

The original goal of Lima was to promote [containerd](https://containerd.io) including [nerdctl (contaiNERD ctl)](https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl)
to Mac users, but Lima can be used for non-container applications as well.
Lima began in May 2021, aiming at promoting [containerd](https://containerd.io) including [nerdctl (contaiNERD ctl)](https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl)
to Mac users.
Later the project scope was expanded to support other containers
and non-container applications as well.
Lima also supports non-macOS hosts (Linux, NetBSD, etc.).

Lima joined the [Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)](https://cncf.io)
in September 2022 as a Sandbox project.
The project was promoted to the Incubating level in October 2025.
