Kunobi – Kubernetes & GitOps desktop client built with Tauri

[jleni]

Hey! We've been building Kunobi, a desktop client for Kubernetes and GitOps management, built with Tauri 2 + Rust backend.

The goal: nicer than Lens, fast as k9s, with better visualization than both.

What it does:

• Manage multiple Kubernetes clusters from a single UI
• Native FluxCD and ArgoCD integration — visualize and control GitOps resources
• Inspect Helm releases and catch config drift
• Built-in MCP server so AI agents can interact with your clusters

Why Tauri:
We went with Tauri over Electron for the performance — connecting to multiple clusters with large resource sets needs to stay snappy, and the Rust backend lets us do heavy lifting (kubeconfig parsing, multi-cluster streaming, Helm inspection) without shipping a full Chromium runtime.

Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
