It solves a very specific problem - using Docker on OS X is a giant pain. It's pretty easy on something like Ubuntu, but for Mac the typical solution involves Vagrant + a VM, so startup times are slow, it eats a lot of memory and CPU, etc.

Oh, thanks, I thought it was an image manager (which I could use). I guess you'd have a problem with Docker on OS X, given the BSD-based kernel...

Nicely done. Nice name too.
One could use such a nice UI on linux too ;)
PS: I don't want a nice UI. There sure are others who would.

Kitematic can be used as an image manager.

It looks like Kitematic uses VirtualBox, a VM.
Aside from the GUI, how does it differ from Boot2Docker, which is what the Docker web site tells you to use on a Mac?

- Automatically creates a folder under ~/Kitematic for each Volume.
- One click NSEnter into any container.
- Any container can be accessed at .dev (automatically sets up a DNS for you, so you can connect a database too using that URL).
We're really just trying to make Docker easier to use for Mac right now.
