Features13 Background & settings

Quiet in the tray, loud when it matters.

Docker Client MX keeps running in the system tray and tells you when a container crashes, becomes unhealthy, loses its network or runs into its memory limit. It cleans up after itself and keeps itself up to date.

What you can do

Lives in the tray

Start and stop projects and containers from the tray menu, and search from there.

Starts at sign-in

Straight to the tray, so notifications arrive even when you don't open the app.

Notifications that mean something

A crash, an unhealthy container, a lost network or port, or a container at its memory limit. Never for a container you stopped yourself, and switched off per container when you want quiet.

Cleans up once a week

Untagged images and build cache, never volumes or tagged images. A notification tells you what it freed.

Updates itself

The Windows installer version checks for new versions and downloads them in advance.

Five languages

English, Nederlands, Deutsch, Français and Español. Technical terms such as container and volume stay in English.

Light and dark

Toggle the theme in the header.

Remembers your filters

Filters on the list pages stay. Search fields deliberately don't, so no container seems to have vanished.

In the tray

A crash reaches you, even with the window closed.

The app sends a notification when a container stops unexpectedly or becomes unhealthy. Stopping one yourself, from the app, the terminal or compose down, never triggers one.
