Kube Lite vs Icelus

Kube Lite is a full-featured Kubernetes client built for iPhone and iPad. Whether you're on-call, commuting, or away from your desk, you stay in full control of your clusters — no laptop required. CONNECT TO ANY CLUSTER Add clusters manually with a server URL and bearer token, paste a kubeconfig, or import one straight from the Files app. Kube Lite supports both token and client-certificate authentication, and stores every credential securely in your device's Keychain — never on a third-party server. BROWSE ALL YOUR RESOURCES Navigate from cluster → namespace → resource kind → instance through a clean, native interface. Kube Lite uses the Kubernetes API discovery endpoints to enumerate every resource type — including Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) — so every object in your cluster is browsable. VIEW AND EDIT YAML Tap any resource to see its full YAML with syntax highlighting. Switch to edit mode to make changes inline and apply them directly to the cluster. Server-side validation errors are surfaced immediately, so you can fix issues on the spot. STREAM POD LOGS Open a live log stream for any container. Logs scroll in real time with pause and resume support, and the viewer handles disconnects gracefully — you'll always know what your pods are doing. EXEC INTO PODS Launch a shell inside any running container with a full terminal emulator. Keyboard input is multiplexed over a WebSocket using the native Kubernetes exec protocol — exactly the way kubectl exec does it. SECURE BY DESIGN • Credentials and certificates stored exclusively in the iOS Keychain • Direct cluster communication — no relay, no cloud backend • Import and export kubeconfig via the Files app, with full privacy BUILT FOR MODERN iOS Kube Lite is built with SwiftUI and feels at home on iOS. It follows system conventions for navigation, typography, and layout — no chrome, no clutter, just your cluster. AVAILABLE IN YOUR LANGUAGE Kube Lite is fully localized in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Perfect for: • Platform engineers and SREs who need cluster access on the move • Developers debugging workloads in staging or production • Anyone who manages Kubernetes and wants a native iOS companion Connect your cluster and take control — from anywhere.

Icelus is a design tool for screens. Design on a real canvas; underneath, every screen is text. Pick a part, tap the canvas, and it lands there as a real button, field, switch or table. One switch in Settings shows the same screen as box-drawing characters. Buttons, inputs, tables, date pickers, tab bars, charts, 38 parts in all. Draw arrows between them, add a big title, and move things around until the screen looks right. Or type the whole screen in a few lines and let Icelus draw it. Then copy it. A Icelus screen is text underneath, so it pastes into a pull request, an issue, a README, a chat or a code comment, and it stays editable wherever it lands. No image to attach, no design file to open. What you get: - A real canvas: parts draw as real controls on artboards, with a Settings switch for the text look - Brush, eraser, selections, gradients, 16 terminal colors, adjustment layers and masks - 38 parts, each its own object you can move, resize, duplicate and reorder - Several screens on one canvas, linked by arrows, copied as one document - Screen templates: sign in, settings, list, detail, empty state - Highlights, your own saved parts, and iOS, Material, terminal and email packs - Copy HTML: the layout as real elements for a developer - Paste any text wireframe and edit it - Shortcuts: Draw a screen, Make plain ASCII - 27 languages and full VoiceOver support - Arrows that stay attached when parts move - Type a screen in a few lines, and copy any sketch back as those lines - Turn a photo into block art, or trace over one - Text boxes, banners and five box styles - Tables you edit as typed rows, with columns that grow - Bar charts, sparklines and progress rows drawn from numbers - Flowcharts from a line like a -> b -> c - Sequence diagrams from lines like User -> App: Sign in - Trees from an indented list - Groups that move as one - A layer list: hide, lock, reorder - Symbols: edit one copy, every copy follows - Pressed, disabled and error states - Snap and alignment guides - Copy as text, Markdown or plain ASCII, or share an image - Autosave and 50 steps of undo - Keyboard control on the Mac - The same project file on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and the web Everything stays on your device.
