## What is Kubyl?

Kubyl is the phone client for Kubyl Server, a private server you run next to your clusters. It gives you the day-to-day parts of operating Kubernetes without a laptop.

• Clusters and resources: live tables of pods, deployments, nodes and events, with search across every type.
• Logs and a terminal: follow logs and open a shell in a container.
• Alerts: see firing alerts, silence them, and get push notifications.
• Argo CD and Helm: check application health, sync or roll back, and read release history.
• Safe changes: every write is a two-step confirm, production clusters ask you to type the cluster name, and read-only clusters stay read-only.
• Private by design: kubeconfigs and credentials never leave your server, and secret values are masked. The phone pairs with the server by QR code and can be revoked at any time.

Kubyl requires a Kubyl Server with an active license. See kubyl.dev.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-23

Kubyl now makes use of big screens: iPads, and the open display of a foldable iPhone.

• A sidebar like the desktop app: under Resources, every kind of the cluster opens in folding sections, and pages open beside the sidebar so it stays.
• Made for width: the overview in columns, tables with sortable columns, alerts with the list and the selected alert side by side, and four Apps cards in a row.
• Foldable iPhone: content keeps clear of the system's clock and Wi-Fi, and the small display in landscape uses its full width.
• More room for logs, pod pages and other screens, with less given to bars and padding.
• Fixes: a Service or Pod with the same port on TCP and UDP no longer shows an error, and Forward and Web view explain when your account may not port-forward.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-18

Much more of Kubyl Server on your phone.

• Apps hub: Argo CD, Flux, Helm and Workloads side by side. Flux gets an overview, object pages and reconcile, suspend, resume and delete.
• Helm: install, upgrade, roll back and uninstall releases, search charts and manage chart repositories.
• Applications: workloads grouped by their app label.
• AI agents: chat with your agents and ask one about any object with ready-made questions.
• Security Center: findings from Trivy Operator.
• Cost: cost monitoring with OpenCost under More > Views.
• Export any resource list, Applications, Security or Cost as CSV.
• Clearer sign-ins: clusters turned off for this phone show why, and a rejected token reads "Auth failed" with the server's message.
• See your server's version and when an update is available.
• A "How to pair" link on the pairing screen and a new animated start screen.
• Fixes: the agent message box clears the home indicator, workload readiness is more accurate, long chart errors are shorter, and server rows line up.

Some screens need a current Kubyl Server; the app hides what your server doesn't offer yet.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-16
