Rancher Desktop on a Mac
Desktop Kubernetes + container runtime for Mac · Containers
Rancher Desktop runs Kubernetes (k3s) and a container runtime (containerd or dockerd/moby) on your Mac with a GUI — pick the Kubernetes version from a dropdown, no command line needed. brew install --cask rancher. The easiest way to switch K8s versions locally.
