Modern GUI for Docker

About

Dockev is a modern Docker GUI for developers who have moved on from Docker Desktop. It works with headless engines like Colima, Podman, and plain Docker Engine, giving you a proper desktop app to manage your containers, images, volumes, networks, and Compose projects. Whether your engine runs using Colima on a Mac, inside WSL2 on Windows, or natively on a Linux box, Dockev connects to it the same way and gives you the same UI on top.
