Kubernetes GUI · Desktop AI

Built for people who live in Kubernetes.

A full-featured Kubernetes client for day-to-day work — pods, logs, metrics, YAML, exec, port-forward, and Helm — on macOS, Windows, Linux, and iPadOS. On Desktop, browse a pod’s files and pull or push without fighting kubectl cp — and use in-app AI (Claude, Gemini, Codex, Copilot, or Cursor) on clusters you’ve connected.

Credentials stay on your device. Traffic goes to your cluster — not through our servers.

Runs on
macOS Windows Linux iPadOS
Works with
Amazon EKS Google GKE Azure AKS kubeconfig

How it works

Three steps from zero to browsing a live cluster.

  1. Add a cluster

    Import a kubeconfig, or connect with Amazon EKS, Google GKE, or Azure AKS credentials.

  2. Connect

    Open the cluster from the sidebar. KubeSpade talks directly to your Kubernetes API.

  3. Operate

    Browse resources, stream logs, edit YAML, exec, port-forward, copy files out of a pod, install and upgrade Helm charts — and on Desktop, use in-app AI on the clusters you connected.

A visual kubectl for real cluster work

Same workflows you’d run in the terminal — in a clear Kubernetes GUI on the device you already use.

Cluster overview

Nodes, namespaces, resource usage, and warnings at a glance — with live CPU, memory, and pod charts.

Workloads & resources

Pods, Deployments, Services, Ingress, RBAC, CRDs — browse and operate without switching tools.

Helm

Install and upgrade charts from local repos, edit values, view history, and roll back — on Desktop, without leaving the app.

Logs & exec

Stream pod logs, follow containers, exec into shells, and port-forward — right from the resource view.

Pod Files Desktop

Open a file browser on any running container — search huge folders, then Pull or Push (or drag-and-drop) without leaving the app or wrestling kubectl cp.

YAML & apply

View and edit manifests, scale deployments, restart pods, and apply changes with a built-in editor.

Multi-cloud connect

Connect via EKS, GKE, AKS credentials or import a kubeconfig — multiple clusters, grouped your way.

In-app AI Desktop

Bring Claude, Gemini, Codex, Copilot, or Cursor into a built-in terminal — with tools for your connected clusters and Approve for writes. Learn more

On-device only

No KubeSpade backend receives your kubeconfig or tokens. The app talks directly to your cluster APIs.

Desktop AI

Your AI CLI, inside KubeSpade

Open Claude, Gemini, Codex, Copilot, or Cursor in a built-in terminal. They get tools for clusters you’ve already connected — via MCP, not a live kubeconfig in the shell. Reads run freely; apply and delete wait for Approve.

Overview

Cluster health at a glance

CPU, memory, and pod utilization with time-range charts. Nodes ready, namespace count, and warnings — all on one screen.

Workloads

Pods, Deployments, and more

Filter by namespace, sort columns, and jump to logs or exec from any row. Full resource tree in the sidebar.

Details

Inspect any resource

Open a pod for CPU and memory charts, labels, events, and quick actions — logs, YAML, exec, Files, port-forward.

Pod Files

Pull dumps without kubectl cp

Browse a container filesystem, filter huge folders, then Pull or Push — or drag-and-drop into the folder. Desktop workbench tab; no terminal dance.

Logs

Stream logs per container

Open logs above the terminal — multi-container tabs, previous-instance logs, tail, and follow, without leaving the app.

Clusters

Connect any cluster

EKS, GKE, AKS, or kubeconfig — add clusters, group them by environment, and switch in one click.

iPadOS

Kubernetes on iPad

The same Kubernetes GUI on a tablet — browse pods, stream logs, edit YAML, and operate clusters from anywhere. Free to explore; Pro unlocks exec, port-forward, Helm, and more.

What is KubeSpade?

KubeSpade is a Kubernetes GUI and desktop/iPadOS kubectl alternative for engineers who manage clusters every day. Use it as a Kubernetes client for Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS, minikube, or any cluster you reach with a kubeconfig — without sending credentials through a third-party cloud console. On Desktop, browse pod filesystems and copy files to your machine, and optional in-app AI talks to those same connected clusters via MCP.

Your credentials never leave your device

KubeSpade stores kubeconfig and cloud credentials locally. We don't operate a backend that receives your cluster secrets or API traffic.

Works with the clusters you already run

Whether you manage EKS in production or spin up minikube locally — same UI, same workflows.

  • AWS EKS, GCP GKE, Azure AKS
  • Any cluster reachable via kubeconfig
  • Exec plugins (e.g. aws-vault) supported on desktop

Questions?

Does it send kubeconfigs to a server? How do I connect to EKS? Which platforms are supported?
