Orchard allows you to manage Apple Containers on your Mac using a native Swift application. It allows local developers to sandbox their AI agents, power users to create Machines and Kubernetes clusters.
Orchard is a native (Swift) macOS app for managing containers with Apple
Orchard is the best app for Apple's container tooling. It allows you to manage containers and machines, local kubernetes clusters, bridge local AI models into them, and run agents in isolated sandboxes, all without needing to drop to the CLI. It is being used by engineers at Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, IBM, Stripe, LinkedIn, Uber, GitHub, Amazon, VMware, Alibaba, Tencent, MongoDB, Honeycomb and Vercel amongst many others. Orchard is a native Swift app that uses the XPC protocol for efficiency, and is fully signed. No Electron, no web views, no performance issues from shelling to the CLI. Point Orchard at a compose.yaml and bring the whole project up in dependency order, or take it down again.…from orchard.andon.dev

Talanoa▲343Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
