Gantry — Mac Native Container management - Docker management. Agent-ready with a built-in MCP server.

by•
Gantry is a free, open-source native macOS app for managing and monitoring Docker — locally and over SSH. No limits. And it's the missing GUI for Apple's new container runtime: what DockerDesktop is to Docker, Gantry is to apple/container — both side by side on one dashboard. No Electron, no subscription, no artificial caps. Agent-ready too, with a built-in MCP server and App Intents for Claude, Shortcuts and Siri.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Andrew, maker of Gantry. I run Docker on my Mac and on a handful of servers — and I was tired of choosing between heavyweight Electron GUIs, web dashboards I have to host, and plain SSH + CLI for the remote boxes. So I built the tool I wanted: a fully native macOS app (SwiftUI, no Electron) that treats remote Docker hosts as first-class citizens. What makes it different: 🛰️ SSH hosts, zero setup — Gantry connects exactly like docker -H ssh://user@host. Nothing to install on the server beyond Docker itself. It reads your ~/.ssh/config, keys stay in the macOS Keychain. 📊 Fleet dashboard — every host on one screen: live CPU/memory sparklines and a health feed where one click jumps to the unhealthy container. 🖥️ The essentials, done natively — live logs with search, stats charts, exec terminal, drag & drop file browser, Compose grouping. 🤖 Agent-ready — a bundled MCP server and App Intents, so Claude/Shortcuts/Siri can manage your containers too. It's free and open source (MIT). macOS 26+, Apple Silicon & Intel. I'd love your feedback — especially from folks managing several Docker hosts. What's missing? What would make this your daily driver?
