Thanks for creating and maintaining this invaluable tool. It's my go-to for running containers on a Mac.

I'm not proposing to auto-start the vm at login, as I don't use containers on a daily basis, and this can be achieved with launchctl anyway.
What I'm proposing is to auto-start the vm on first interaction with the CLI, e.g. finch run or finch build.

Is this something you may consider implementing?

Hey, thanks for opening the issue, and we're glad that you're finding Finch helpful for you!

This sounds like a solid idea, I imagine one use case might be wanting to run Finch commands through automation and requiring an extra check if the VM is running makes it a little clunky to work with. I don't see any problems with it but it definitely should be configurable via some global option (maybe a config file or opt-in from a global CLI command), as there might be use cases where one may want to always explicitly use a command to start the VM. As always contributions are welcome!
