Kunobi

Kunobi is a desktop app for Kubernetes operations and GitOps visibility. Connect to your clusters, browse and operate on resources, track Flux and Argo CD sync state, and debug deployments from a single, keyboard-driven interface with CLI-fast performance. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Kunobi reads the contexts from your existing kubeconfig files and lets you work across several clusters at once, without ever modifying your kubeconfig. From one window you can inspect and change resources, stream logs, open a shell inside a pod or on a node, forward ports, and follow how Flux and Argo CD reconcile your workloads.

It is built for platform and DevOps engineers who would otherwise jugglekubectl, a terminal UI, and a handful of dashboards. Everything is a few keystrokes away: a command palette runs any action by name, and a k9s-style filter bar narrows large resource lists instantly. The goal is to make everyday cluster work faster and safer while keeping you close to the underlying Kubernetes objects.

This is a quick tour of the headline capabilities. Each has its own section in these docs.

- Connect and manage clusters- connect to multiple clusters at the same time, favorite and quickly switch between them, and spin up localkindclusters for testing. SeeClustersandMulti-Cluster Management.
- Operate on Kubernetes resources- inspect any resource, edit its YAML or a ConfigMap/Secret's data, scale and restart workloads, roll back deployments, cordon and drain nodes, and delete resources. SeeKubernetes OperationsandDrilldown.
- Track GitOps- Kunobi auto-detects Flux and Argo CD, shows their sync state and dependency trees, and lets you reconcile, sync, and suspend resources from the UI. SeeGitOps.
- Work in terminals and logs- open local shells that are already pointed at the active cluster, exec into pods and nodes, forward ports, and stream logs in a fast viewer with search and filtering. SeeTerminal, Shells & Logs.
- Filter and organize- narrow resources with a powerful filter syntax and save the views you use most as workspaces. SeeFiltering & SearchandWorkspaces.
- Ask the AI assistant- chat with a cluster-aware assistant that can inspect and act on your resources, and expose your cluster context to external AI clients through Kunobi's built-in MCP server. SeeAI Conversations.
- Extend Kunobi- install optional extensions, like pulling cloud-provider kubeconfigs or inspecting a Cilium CNI, with more in development. SeeExtensions.
