KubeSpade · macOS, Windows, Linux

A visual kubectl for real cluster work.

Browse, debug, and operate Kubernetes clusters without living in the terminal.

No account. No cloud proxy. Your credentials stay on your device.

macOS · Windows · Linux

Built for people who live in Kubernetes.

Connects to
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, and install Helm charts - the same day-to-day work as kubectl, in a GUI.

Built for real cluster work

Visual kubectl for the jobs you already do - not a feature parade.

Debug

Debug a production issue

Pod → logs → events → exec → YAML. Find what broke without jumping between kubectl, terminals, and dashboards.

Understand

Understand your cluster

Overview metrics, workloads, and warnings on one screen - then drill into any resource.

Operate

Work without leaving the GUI

Helm, pod Files, YAML apply, port-forward - and a Policy Map for NetworkPolicy allow rules.

And more, when you need it

Core day-to-day tools first. Deeper Desktop features when the job needs them.

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.

Policy Map Desktop

See what NetworkPolicies allow between workloads - ingress and egress as a graph. Policy Map landing

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, 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 · Killer feature

NetworkPolicies are easy to write. Understanding them isn't.

Policy Map shows what your policies actually allow between workloads - ingress and egress as a graph. Intent from policy, not live traffic.

Optional · Desktop

In-app AI when you want it

Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or Cursor in a built-in terminal - MCP tools for connected clusters, empty kubeconfig in the shell, Approve for writes. Useful after the client itself - not the reason to download.

Across every platform

Same app on macOS, Windows, Linux, and iPadOS - click any shot to enlarge.

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.

Policy Map

See what NetworkPolicies actually allow

Click a workload to pin ingress and egress allow rules — intent from policy, not live traffic. Desktop Network → Policy Map.

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.

Also on iPadOS

Same client on iPad

Browse pods, stream logs, and operate clusters from a tablet when you need to. Desktop remains the primary download - App Store listing coming soon.

What is KubeSpade?

KubeSpade is a visual kubectl for engineers who manage clusters every day: a local Kubernetes GUI for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Connect Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS, or any kubeconfig - without sending credentials through a KubeSpade cloud. Optional Desktop AI and iPadOS are extras on top of that core.

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?
