Thank you! A project like this was on my wishlist for a long time.
Colleagues looked at me like I'm weird when I was saying containers without a VM should be possible on macOS. I switched to a Linux laptop because I couldn't stand the experience of working with Docker on macos.
I wonder if some of the macOS sandboxing features can be used instead of relying solely on the JIT

Yeah docker Mac expirience is pretty bad especially the x86 is just painful, and to your comment (about security), it should not really matter in practice, in fact we used both, but goal really is to run secure sandboxes that are processes without performance impact.

How would this be different from Apple's recently launched "container" utility? https://github.com/apple/container
I was annoyed by the speed of docker on Mac’s, so I took a journey and decided to rewrite everything about it. DD was original working name and I’m in process of rebranding. But we can run docker on Mac’s with no vm. And its destroying qemu. We have plenty of new features that are comming. Rendering native apps, workspaces, much more.
