Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

Berth is a native macOS GUI for Apple's container tool, providing Docker-Desktop-like management of Linux containers via XPC for live logs, stats, and image/volume/network operations. It's interesting because it offers a polished SwiftUI interface for an emerging Apple-native container ecosystem, despite being niche due to macOS 26 and Apple silicon requirements.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, macOS power users
