Kubebar keeps an eye on your Kubernetes clusters from the system tray. It reads your existing kubeconfig, shows the health of nodes, pods, deployments and Helm releases, and notifies you when a pod crashes, restarts or eats more CPU or memory than it should.
Select a range in a metrics chart and Kubebar shows you the log lines and events from exactly that window, so you can go from "CPU spiked at 14:32" to the matching log entry in one step.
Other features include live log tailing, an integrated terminal, port forwarding, scaling and restarting workloads, YAML inspection, multi-cluster context switching, an optional AI assistant for diagnosing failures (bring your own Anthropic, OpenAI or local Ollama key), and a user interface translated into 40 languages.
The app talks to your clusters directly - never through our servers - and contains no analytics or tracking tools. A 14-day trial is included; a license is required afterwards.
