What it is
KubeLens is a desktop Kubernetes IDE for developers and platform engineers who want a clear local workflow instead of a heavy browser-based control plane. Built on Tauri 2, it reads cluster resources through the Kubernetes watch API and keeps the view up to date in real time. No account, no telemetry — just your kubeconfig.
It manages several kubeconfigs at once: entries can be renamed and clusters switched in a couple of clicks. The same window gives you streaming pod logs with container selection, an interactive shell, port forwarding to localhost, CPU and memory metrics, Helm releases with values and manifests, dependency topology and YAML editing with validation. The UI ships in English and Ukrainian, and in-app updates install only with a valid minisign signature.
03 / How it works
How it works
Connect a cluster
KubeLens reads your kubeconfig from the standard location, so entries can be renamed and several clusters kept side by side.
Browse workloads
Workloads — Pods, Deployments, Services, CRDs, RBAC, Nodes — update in real time through the Kubernetes watch API.
Logs, terminal, networking
Stream logs with container selection, open a shell in any container and forward pod ports to localhost.
Helm, topology, YAML
Browse Helm releases with their values and manifests, drill into workload dependencies and apply edited YAML with validation.
