Dory is a free, open-source native macOS app providing a Docker and Linux container runtime, an alternative to Docker Desktop and OrbStack. It bundles a native Apple Silicon Docker engine with optional Kubernetes, Linux desktops, headless servers, and a CLI, all without accounts, telemetry, or paid tiers.
Use cases
- run docker containers on apple silicon mac without docker desktop
- free orbstack alternative for macos
- manage docker compose stacks from a native mac app
- spin up one-click kubernetes locally on a mac
- run a full graphical linux desktop on macOS
- host persistent headless linux servers on a mac
- migrate and recover docker workspaces between machines
- automate container workflows with a versioned CLI
When to choose
- you want a GPL-3.0, no-telemetry Docker Desktop replacement on Apple Silicon
- you need Kubernetes, Linux VMs, and containers in one native macOS app
- you prefer a SwiftUI GUI plus scriptable CLI without accounts or cloud services
When to avoid
- you need an Intel Mac build, which is not yet available
- you require Docker Desktop-specific enterprise features or support contracts
- you need a container runtime on Linux or Windows hosts
