I'm aware of it. Hasn't been updated in a long time, and you need to otherwise install vagrant and a VM manager separately (fortunately, it doesn't ironically tell you how to do so via homebrew...)

I think a first-class vagrant app for Mac OS would (a) be available in the App Store for simplified VPP deployments (b) install vagrant and (c) either come with a lightweight VMM over Hypervisor.framework and/or work with other active VMMs like Fusion, Parallels or even Docker Desktop.

Vagrant was born of the CLI, but I think in 2021 it needs to embrace its role as a bridge between the GUI and CLI. Just my opinion, though...

the grandparent comment of this one is Mitchell Hashimoto, who made Vagrant, and is sharing their current setup..
