Read full descriptionHide full description
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 โ 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 โ never on a third-party server. BROWSE ALL YOUR RESOURCES Navigate from cluster โ namespace โ resource kind โ instance through a clean, native interface. Kube Lite uses the Kubernetes API discovery endpoints to enumerate every resource type โ including Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) โ 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 โ 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 โ exactly the way kubectl exec does it. SECURE BY DESIGN โข Credentials and certificates stored exclusively in the iOS Keychain โข Direct cluster communication โ no relay, no cloud backend โข 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 โ 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: โข Platform engineers and SREs who need cluster access on the move โข Developers debugging workloads in staging or production โข Anyone who manages Kubernetes and wants a native iOS companion Connect your cluster and take control โ from anywhere.
