Beyond kubectl

Not just a client.
A Kubernetes platform.

AI troubleshooting, chaos engineering, cost optimization, database connectivity, and 100+ features in the most powerful Kubernetes GUI for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.

AI-Powered Troubleshooting

Ask questions in plain English. The on-device AI assistant diagnoses issues, explains resources, and suggests fixes with full cluster context.

Multi-Cluster Command Center

Connect unlimited clusters. Cross-cluster search, bulk operations, cluster comparison, and environment grouping by region or team.

Chaos Engineering

Run 12+ experiment types — pod kill, network latency, CPU/memory stress, DNS failure. Dry-run mode, scheduling, and recovery metrics built in.

Cost Estimation & Optimization

Track costs across AWS, GCP, Azure. Get right-sizing recommendations, spot instance suggestions, and namespace-level cost breakdowns with trend projections.

Database Connectivity

Connect directly to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch running in your cluster. Browse schemas, run queries, and export results.

Policy & Compliance

Gatekeeper and Kyverno integration. Enforce security policies, track violations by severity, audit RBAC permissions, and browse cluster audit logs.

Network Debugging Suite

DNS lookups, connectivity testing, traceroute, port scanning, and network policy simulation. Diagnose networking issues without leaving the app.

Full Helm Lifecycle

Install, upgrade, rollback, and test releases. Browse chart repositories, diff revisions, manage values, and inspect rendered manifests.

Developer Toolbox

HTTP request builder, API proxy with traffic recording, YAML/JSON editor with schema validation, code generation, and Kustomize/Jsonnet support.

Real-time Observability

Live log streaming across pods with regex filtering, resource metrics with historical trends, event timelines, and Prometheus custom queries.
