I tried looking into this, but I do development work on Mac, which is not supported, and so it became a non starter.

Just like with Docker, it spins up a Linux VM that integrates with Apptainer. You can install/use it with Lima (much like Docker).
You can also install it with `brew install lima` and then run `limactl start template://apptainer` to get a running Apptainer compatible VM running.
I was only partially aware of it as I tend to use Colima more than Lima, but have started to move towards Lima more in general.
That said, I still stick to Docker-style containers personally as they are more widely supported (e.g. VS Code). However, I also work a lot in HPC, so migrating workflows cross-platform to Apptainer containers is a goal of mine.
