CatBee Container Studio is designed as a direct desktop interface. No cloud proxies, no required accounts, and no telemetry tracking your containers.

Electron + Angular Architecture

High-performance desktop shell powered by Angular’s modern reactivity and Electron’s native OS integration. Low idle memory and instantaneous view switching.

Direct Engine Socket

Communicates directly through local Docker daemon sockets (`/var/run/docker.sock` on Linux/macOS or `\\.\pipe\docker_engine` on Windows). No intermediaries.

100% Offline & Private

Your images, environment variables, secret tokens, and volume data remain entirely local on your workstation. Zero external telemetry or cloud analytics.

devices

Universal Compatibility

Works out of the box with Docker Desktop, Rancher Desktop, Colima, Podman, or standalone rootless Docker installations on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
