macOS only gives you POSIX compliance. Slicer runs containers, Kubernetes, and Firecracker, all on your MacBook.
A walk-through of the native Mac tray app, booting microVMs, and the developer workflow.
Run Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode inside an isolated microVM on your MacBook.
Built and supported by the team behind OpenFaaS, Inlets, and Actuated.
Run Claude, Codex, and OpenCode in their own VM with root access. Copy out the results when they're done. No more clicking through permissions for every shell command.
Spin up K3s inside a Slicer VM. Test Helm charts, validate RBAC, iterate on controllers, on your own machine, matching production.
Enforce default-deny network access on any VM with Slicer Proxy. Bearer, Basic, and OAuth credentials inject on the wire, so agents and untrusted workloads never see your secrets. Every request audited.
Ephemeral sandboxes and long-lived VMs in one tool. Responsive, and easy to automate with bash, agent skills, and the Go and TypeScript SDKs.
How the native macOS port uses Apple's Virtualization framework, the tray app, and folder mounting.
Coding agents on Mac via Slicer microVMs, plus production clustering on Linux with a consistent sandbox layer.
Runs on Apple Silicon. Nothing leaves your machine.
