mocker is a tool that works like Docker but is built for macOS 26 using Apple’s Containerization framework. It uses the same commands and flags you're familiar with, such as mocker run, mocker ps, mocker stop, mocker build, mocker compose, and mocker stats. This lets you manage containers without changing how you work.
To use mocker on your Windows computer, you need:
- Windows 10 or later (64-bit)
- At least 4 GB of RAM
- 2 GHz or faster processor
- 2 GB free disk space
- Internet connection for download and updates
- Windows Terminal or Command Prompt (built-in)
Even though mocker is made for macOS 26, this version works on Windows through Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or similar compatibility layers.

To stop a container, find its ID with mocker ps, then run:
mocker stop [container_id]
Replace [container_id] with the actual ID.
Prepare a Dockerfile or similar build file.
Run:
mocker build -t myimage .
