Kubby, the Kubernetes IDE for Windows

Every cluster, one window. Kubby tells you why it broke.

The Kubernetes IDE for Windows. Problem pods come first, each with the reason in plain words: exit code, memory peak against the limit, restart pattern and the logs before the crash.

Kubby Overview of the prod-app cluster: 10 nodes, 389 pods running, 15 that need attention, 60 warnings in the last hour, and worker-03 under memory pressure with its CPU and memory over the last hour and its disk at 61%
Callouts: every cluster on the left rail, every resource kind with problem counts, Argo CD at a glance, the command palette, cluster health, cluster news, problems first with the reason, and node load.

Kubernetes, without the guesswork

Kubby is built from the questions you ask at 3 a.m.: what is broken, why, and how do I fix it without breaking something else.

Problems first, with the reason

CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled and ImagePullBackOff rise to the top. Kubby says why in one sentence: exit code, memory peak against the limit, restart pattern, and the logs before the crash.

Every cluster, one window

Import your kubeconfigs, group clusters by environment and switch with one click. Logs, events, Helm, terminals and port forwarding stay in the same window, in the right context.

AI that reads your cluster

Ask Kubby connects your own Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok to Kubby's read-only tools for one cluster. It finds the cause and proposes a change; nothing runs until you approve it.

Included

Monitoring, Argo CD and AI in the same window

Every feature is free for everyone. These are real Kubby screens on test data.

Monitoring

Node health, capacity and certificates from the cluster's own Prometheus

No dashboards to build. Kubby reads Rancher Monitoring or any Prometheus and shows what an on-call engineer needs: capacity gauges, node pressure, control plane, etcd, certificate expiry and the alerts that are firing.

  • 5 minutes to 7 days, refreshed on its own
  • Node cards with disks, OS, kernel and uptime
  • Prometheus alerts in the notification bell

Argo CD

Argo CD next to the resources it syncs, and why an app is Degraded

Several Argo CD instances and clusters in one control centre: health and sync charts, the cluster map, applications with their resource tree, diff, history, rollback and sync. A Degraded app shows the pod and the reason behind it.

  • Applications, ApplicationSets, projects, repositories, clusters
  • Diff and history with rollback
  • Open any resource in Kubby in one click

Ask Kubby

Ask your cluster. Get the answer with the evidence.

Bring Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok or your company's AI gateway with your own account. Ask Kubby reads the findings, the previous logs and the events, explains the cause and proposes a change as a diff.

Nothing is applied until you approve it, with the cluster name typed on PROD. Secret values are never sent.

Your cluster data never leaves your computer

Kubby is a local desktop application that connects to your clusters directly. Kubeconfigs, cluster names, logs and resources are never sent to any server.

When you use Ask Kubby, your question and the relevant cluster context go to the AI provider you chose, through your own account. Secret values are never sent.

  • No telemetryKubby only asks kubby.tech whether a newer version exists. It sends nothing about you or your clusters.
  • Works offlineNothing to activate. Without internet Kubby works as usual; it only cannot see new releases.
  • Credentials stay on your computerKubeconfigs stay in your Windows profile, opened only after your Kubby sign-in; other secrets are in Windows Credential Manager.
  • Opens no new portsReaches Prometheus and services through the Kubernetes API.
