Introduction
Udon is a remote management tool for macOS with a browser dashboard and a phone companion app.
Use Udon to run containers and apps, share folders, monitor system resources, and manage user accounts.
Udon is in early development. Expect changes without notice.
Requirements
- Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer) on macOS 26 or later
- One owning macOS administrator account, signed in to the desktop for installation
To run containers, add Apple's container, which the
installer offers to install, or use OrbStack if you already run it. You can finish Udon setup
without a container engine.
