If you want something a little further along (with nerdctl/containerd or docker/moby) that runs on mac/win/linux... there's Rancher Desktop [1]. The mac and linux setups are built on Lima. One of the Lima maintainers is the lead on Rancher Desktop. It also has Kubernetes (you can turn it off), a GUI, and more.

Disclaimer, I started Rancher Desktop so I have a little bit of a bias.

Great, then can you speak to whether rancher-desktop supports the "--platform" argument to "run" the same way that finch does?

I wouldn't mind answering it myself, but it looks like rancher-desktop is an electron something or other: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/blob/v1.6... and even downloading the 500MB release zip shows that there's `Rancher Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/limactl` hidden in it, but I'm a distrustful sort and I don't want to crawl through unlimited lines of typescript to find out what this is going to do to my system

Maybe it's just that I'm not the right audience for this, since I am the polar opposite of "some gui fanciness," as I came up through the docker-machine universe, and now colima, and thus have a lot more comfort debugging CLI tooling when something inevitably goes toes up
