Everything you need

Powerful tools, focused interface.

No cluster-side installation required. Kubeterm runs locally and connects directly to your Kubernetes API.

Multi-Cloud & Zero Config: Load clusters effortlessly from public cloud providers or OIDC via direct login or native credentials. Automatic kubeconfig discovery on desktop.
AI Cluster Assistance: Built-in AI chat reads live cluster state to investigate resources, review logs, and explain failing workloads. Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or DeepSeek key.
Deep Resource Visibility: Browse every resource type including CRDs, with color-coded status, inline YAML editing, and live or Prometheus-backed historical metrics for nodes and pods.
Advanced Troubleshooting: Stream logs from any workload, exec into containers with a full terminal, browse a running pod's file system, forward ports, and attach ephemeral debug containers.
Application Management: Manage the full Helm release lifecycle, install charts straight from Artifact Hub, and monitor Argo CD and Flux CD applications in one Applications section.
Safer Day-to-Day Operations: Scale, restart, roll out, and drain nodes with confirmation on every write. Credentials stay in your platform keychain, and any cluster can be locked behind Face ID.

New in v2.7.0

The latest release adds a pod file browser for exploring a container's file system, file transfers between pods and your device from AI chat, web search in AI chat, a one-tap explain and health check on any resource page, an editable kubeconfig with KUBECONFIG environment variable support on desktop, and Helm, Argo CD, and Flux CD grouped under a single Applications section.
