A native, pay-once alternative to Lens
All the cluster visibility you want from a desktop Kubernetes app - live, native and genuinely fast - but it's a one-time licence, not a subscription, and your clusters never leave your Mac.
Works with Google GKE, Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, DigitalOcean, self-managed & more · macOS Sonoma (14) or later
Why switch
The desktop client you open daily - without the catches
- A bill every month, for as long as you use it
- Per-cluster or per-seat pricing that scales against you
- An account and telemetry just to run a desktop app
- Cloud features you can't fully switch off
- Cluster data leaving your machine
- One payment, yours to keep - free updates within the major version
- Use it on up to 3 of your Macs, every cluster included
- No account needed to run it, and no telemetry
- Talks straight to your cluster API over TLS
- Nothing about your clusters ever leaves your Mac
Everything you opened Lens for
Built for the Mac
Native SwiftUI through and through - fast windows, real keyboard shortcuts, low memory use, and proper light and dark themes. It feels like a Mac app because it is one.
Your data stays put
No agents, no telemetry, no cloud. Kubius talks straight to your cluster API; nothing about your clusters is ever sent anywhere.
Pay once, keep it
A one-time licence with free updates within the major version - no subscription, no per-cluster fees, usable on up to 3 of your Macs.
Live by default
Every list is a watch stream, so crashes, rollouts and node pressure show up the moment they happen - not on a manual refresh.
Metrics, cost & right-sizing
Time-series CPU and memory, per-namespace cost, and right-sizing recommendations you can apply in place - all built in, no add-ons.
Every cloud
GKE, EKS, AKS, DigitalOcean, self-managed and more - straight from your kubeconfig, with each provider's auth handled for you.

Questions, answered
Is Kubius really a one-time purchase?
Yes - one licence, free updates within the major version, usable on up to 3 of your Macs. No subscription and no per-cluster SaaS fees.
Does anything about my clusters leave my machine?
No. Kubius reads your kubeconfig and talks to the Kubernetes API directly over TLS. There are no agents and no telemetry - nothing about your clusters is sent to Kubius or anyone else.
Is it genuinely native and fast?
Yes. Kubius is built in SwiftUI for macOS - fast windows, native keyboard shortcuts, low memory use, and proper light and dark themes throughout.
Which clusters does it support?
Any context in your kubeconfig - Google GKE, Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, DigitalOcean, self-managed and more - on macOS Sonoma (14) or later.
