Licobox is a macOS app for running and managing Docker containers with a built-in Docker engine and desktop interface.

• Docker Engine on macOS. Run and manage containers with Docker Engine seamlessly on macOS.
• Fast startup. Up and running Docker Engine in seconds.
• Container access via IP. Access containers directly through IP addresses and reduce host port mapping clutter.
• Container access using domains. Open containers with local domains such as web.licobox.local instead of container IP.
• Lightweight. Minimal idle CPU usage with dynamic memory and disk usage. Runs around 0.2-0.5% CPU while idle on an M3 MacBook Air.
• Container debugging. Inspect and troubleshoot containers with built-in utilities for slim or distroless images.
• Volume mounts on macOS. View and manage container volumes directly from macOS Finder without digging through container internals.
• Desktop app management. Manage containers, images, volumes, logs, and stats from a simple desktop interface.
