A small, fast container runtime for macOS, Windows and Linux
Kiri is a lightweight container runtime in Rust for macOS, Windows and Linux, positioned as a faster alternative to Docker Desktop and OrbStack. It runs containers in a small Linux VM, implements the Docker Engine API so existing docker CLI, Compose and buildx workflows keep working, and adds local HTTPS domains, a one-command Kubernetes cluster, Linux machines, and a native management UI.
Why now: It is trending on GitHub's most-starred new repos, driven by its published benchmarks claiming ~80x faster container starts than Docker Desktop and an importer for migrating from OrbStack or Docker Desktop.
Who it is for: Developers on macOS, Windows or Linux who want a fast, lightweight local Docker-compatible environment without Docker Desktop.
