Kitematic is a visual desktop application for managing Docker containers on Mac, Windows, and Linux, built with Electron. It is now officially deprecated and archived, with Docker recommending Docker Desktop as its replacement.

Use cases

  • manage docker containers with a gui
  • visual docker container management on mac and windows
  • browse and run docker images without the cli
  • view container logs and settings in a desktop app
  • simple docker management for beginners

When to choose

  • you are on a legacy setup that already depends on Kitematic
  • you need a lightweight standalone container GUI and accept no updates

When to avoid

  • you want actively maintained software with security fixes
  • you are starting fresh - use Docker Desktop instead
  • you need Linux server or headless container management
