The doc you linked to specifically says there is no daemon on Windows and Mac.

I am confused.

The podman CLI tool compiled for mac doesn't allow you to run the daemon on macOS natively.

The way podman desktop works includes running a podman daemon by default inside the podman linux VM. That's the daemon I'm talking about.

The docker cli also runs on mac, but the docker daemon doesn't run on macOS directly, but instead as a daemon inside the linux VM.

Hence, in podman desktop on macOS, just like docker desktop on macOS, you have a similar daemon running inside the linux VM that's launched.

Do you understand now?
