brew install --cask cobanov/tap/bartainer
Free for local containers and one remote host. Pro unlocks more remote hosts for a one-time $2 purchase.
Fast local loading
Local containers appear instantly while remote hosts connect in the background.
Clean table controls
Choose visible columns, reorder them, and copy values with a single click.
Native settings
Configure refresh, hosts, columns, and Pro activation in macOS-style preferences.
Your credentials never leave your Mac
Bartainer is a thin wrapper around the Docker CLI and your existing SSH setup. There's no Bartainer cloud, no proxy server, and no telemetry. Connections happen directly from your machine to the Docker socket or your SSH host.
Keychain-backed passwords
SSH passwords are stored in the macOS Keychain with WhenUnlockedThisDeviceOnly — encrypted at rest and never written to disk in plain text.
SSH key first
Bartainer prefers your existing ~/.ssh keys and ssh-agent. No private keys are read or stored by the app, and agent forwarding is never enabled.
Local-only execution
Every command runs locally as the system docker and ssh binaries. Bartainer is not a server and has no network listener of its own.
No telemetry
No analytics, no tracking, no phone-home. The only outbound traffic is your own SSH and Docker connections, plus an occasional check for app updates.
Unlock unlimited remote hosts
One-time $2 purchase. No subscription. All future updates included.
