New: Kubyl Mobile for iOS and Android

Kubernetes on your desk, and in your pocket.

One workflow for every cluster. A fast native desktop client for deep work, and a phone app for the moments when the laptop is closed. Your kubeconfigs and tokens never leave your machines.

Desktop

Kubyl Desktop

Native, keyboard-first, free.

Written in Rust on GPUI, the framework behind Zed. Live tables, YAML with schema checks, logs, terminal, Argo CD, Flux, Helm and more in one fast window.

  • macOS, Windows and Linux
  • Free and open source
  • No account, no telemetry

Mobile

Kubyl Mobile

Your clusters, in your pocket.

Check pods, read logs, handle alerts and sync Argo CD from your phone. It pairs with a Kubyl Server you run next to your clusters, so no kubeconfig ever lands on the device.

  • iOS and Android
  • Safe changes with confirm sheets
  • Push notifications for alerts

How the pieces fit

The desktop app talks to your clusters directly. The phone talks to your own Kubyl Server, which holds the credentials and talks to the clusters for it.

  1. 1

    Desktop

    Direct to your clusters with your kubeconfigs, OIDC and exec plugins. Tokens stay in the OS keychain.

  2. 2

    Kubyl Server

    A container next to your clusters. It signs in, enforces read-only and PROD rules and serves your phones over gRPC.

  3. 3

    Mobile

    Pairs with the server by QR code. Revoke a device any time; nothing about your clusters is stored on kubyl.dev.

Switching

Looking for a Lens K8S IDE or k9s alternative?

Kubyl is a free Kubernetes IDE that reads the kubeconfigs you already have, so moving over takes minutes. See what carries over and what doesn't.

Free for everyone

No paid plan and no locked features.

Kubyl is built in spare time by Alexander Birkner. A sponsorship membership pays for notarization and keeps releases coming.
