Ha! Looks like we built the same thing: https://container-ui.fly.dev/ Now I wish I hadn't burned all those tokens!
Oh hi there - I just noticed you have a comparison to Orchard - that's me. Look slick we're all building the same thing ><
It supports containers, machines, registries with a menu bar app if anyone is interested by it
My current power move in the age of AI: do nothing. I had an idea like this and thought I could vibe code it, but then I figured someone else would care more and do it first. I was right! This looks like a great app and I'm excited to try it out. Free idea: I would like to be able to "jail" an agent inside a VM and send instructions to the harness from outside the VM to agent(s) installed inside. Ideally there is no…
You can do exactly that with coderunner
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The AI-Maxing copy on the website kind of gave it away. Doesn't mean is not a great app though!
The description of this submission that literally says "Mostly vibe-coded" didn't give it away?
Man I wish Apple would add docker api compatibility to Apple containers
> Tiny. A single ~17 MB app Oh goodness what have we come to? I know we're comparing to electron monstrosities, but still
complaining about 17mb in 2026 has to be virtue signaling of some sort... yes I know we went to the moon with a few kb but are we going to hang on to that for ever?

After like 10 minutes of searching I found multiple similar swift projects (most of them are just a couple of weeks or months old):

There were more if you include ones with fewer GitHub stars, CLI-only, non-Swift etc. but you get the idea.
People will increasingly be able to build their own version of the software they want. As that happens the value of someone else's decreases. The era of hyper-personal software is coming.

> Free idea: ... I have been thinking about this too. Is it not as simple as installing Claude in the VM and connecting via an SSH terminal, or if you want a GUI use VSCode with the Remote SSH extension, which will give you the file browser UI etc. Presumably you can extensions in the VSCode Claude/whatever chat extensions in the VM too.
I've done exactly this, and it works pretty well!
1. I setup a VM in UTM (but this could be any kind of containerization thing). I don't even bother with a non-root account in there (the agent has free rein to install packages, write files, etc). 2. I SSH into the container. 3. I install Claude or whatever there. 4. I setup git things in a way where I can push/pull to move code between the container and my host machine.
Upsides: the agent is isolated from the rest of my host system, only being able to read/write what I've explicitly handed to it. Downsides: the agent is isolated from the rest of my host system, so it's more limited in capability.
