I've tried many and this is the best Kubernetes UI I've used. It has everything I want, nothing I don't, the developer is very responsive and it's not littered with AI "features".

Used Aptakube for two years, plan to continue using it in the future! It makes managing our Kubernetes deployments so easy.

Came after Lens became locked after login, tried OpenLens, k9s, but nothing came even close to the user friendlyness and productivity boost that Aptakube gave our team. It's so user friendly, I sometimes worry giving it to co-workers since they might get too comfortable with the kubernetes cluster ;)

Aptakube is the best kubernetes ide I've ever used but 2 major features. 1 of them is in-place terminal and 2 helm chart (not configure installed, fresh install via chart). I'm waiting these things, please hurry. =)

aptakube is the best GUI and it’s not even close that + kubectl with a ton of aliases

As a newbie to Kubernetes, I find the ecosystem overwhelming. There are lots of new concepts for me! This app makes it a breeze to dip my toes into this world! The UI is super intuitive and I don't need to learn the kubernetes CLI (yet). Thank you!

The speed is outstanding; we were used to Lens, and this feels so much faster! The design is beautiful and very handy. There are a lot of things that I haven't thought about that make my life easier!

So far no missing features in aptakube. I’m very happy with it. Lens was failing to refresh often and used so much memory too.

I switched from OpenLens a while back when Aptakube was in a relatively early state, and your team has made incredible strides since then. I'm seriously impressed with the improvements you've made and just how polished this app has become. As someone who professionally works with Kubernetes every day, this app is a joy to use. Big kudos to the engineers and designers behind this, you're doing a great job.

Reading logs is much easier than Kube lens app!

I like that this is a tool i can use with my login-credentials without installing any dashboards into Kubernetes cluster i don't own or i don't want to "have this installed". The UI is clear and fresh, for Monitoring and having a look into it great. Also making smaller updates on deployments for testing is working as a charm. Also a light performance view on the metrics (limits and requests) is a nice catch.

Aptakube is just great ;)

Honestly hands down the best K8s tool I've used!! The developer is also a legend, quick turn around on features and bug fixes. It's so refreshing using software like this and makes you wonder why more cannot be this good. Lifetime purchase is also amazing.

Lifesaver when administrating and monitoring multiple k8s clusters. And for development too!

I was searching for a GUI for Kubectl to speed up some processes, and I tried the famous competitors and was ver disappointed with the pricing and speed of the products. After some research finally found Aptakube, my honest review is worth every cent I paid. Thank you for the amazing tool!❤️

Aptakube is a beautiful, responsive native app that makes it easy to inspect and manage my Kubernetes cluster

BTW Aptakube is by far the BEST dashboard for kubernetes I've ever seen. I found it after learning DigitalOcean no longer offers hosted kubernetes dashboard and this is 10x better.

Me and my colleagues from the infrastructure team, we are happy that we have found a very good LENS alternative written in Rust which is fast and it. has a "Pro" touch! Cosmin Banciu www.ailylabs.com

This is a gamechanger since Lens has appeared on the market. Native performance compared to electron, really great in-place yaml editor. Would be nice to have an ability to change default terminal when connecting to pods.

$99 spent on @aptakube, are one of the best money decision :), Saves so much times of mine when i am switching between K8s environments and monitoring etc etc...

The best tool for working with k8s. As my father used to say: When you have to do a job, have the right tool. Don't have a knife to screw in screws.

Aptakube if you want a desktop app. Worth every penny

I continued to use "OpenLens" and then discovered "Aptakube". It was so clean and readable that I bought it!!! Nice UI , thank you.

I have been looking for a fast and snappy lens alternative for a long time now, and Aptakube is just that I am pleased with Aptakube

To me it is the best Kubernetes desktop client yet

Fast, slick UI that outperforms Lens and k9s. Each view is well designed and shows you everything at a glance. Works seamlessly with Teleport (and Okta) as well. Aptakube is a breath of fresh air in a landscape of increasingly bloated apps — I can't recommend it highly enough!

Finally a great GUI for Kubernetes. Moved over from Lens and it's sooooo much better!!

Aptakube is that one tool you didn't know you needed. Having been used to k9s and Lens, I was looking for something that had the features of k9s and the ease of use of Lens. Even though some of the features are still on the way, I have been using it everyday to investigate inconsistencies in the clusters I work with. The ability to merge and view resources from multiple contexts is the absolute killer feature you didn't know you needed. I am glad I found it and it is an incredible timesaver. To top it all that, Guilherme is a passionate & responsive developer/founder

Aptakube has helped me monitor Kubernetes pods and ensure that they are performing optimally simply, and smoothly. Previously, I was a user of k9s, but it did not provide GUI for users. The best thing about Aptakube is the cool dashboard. Anyways, I love your product! Keep rocking! ✨

In a time where every app becomes slower and fatter, it's great to see that some work against the trend. Aptakube is incredibly snappy, and makes working with Kubernetes a breeze.

It's basically a kubectl wrapper, except it looks awesome and makes everything a breeze. It would be worth it for viewing logs alone! I estimate it is making me 379% more productive 😂 Thanks for putting this out! Keep it up!

Aptakube is very easy to use, with clean UI and flash performance! With Aptakube, I can monitor and manage my Kubernetes cluster in different cloud platform effortlessly. The best part is that Aptakube not just shows the yaml of resources, but display it in a more readable way!

How is this not getting more upvotes!? I tried it out today and absolutely love it. Kudos. So much faster than Lens and k9s.

I recently started using Aptakube as my Kubernetes desktop client, and I have been really impressed with its functionality and ease of use. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, with a clean and modern design. It offers a range of features, including a logs viewer, open terminal inside pods, and connects to multiple contexts at once! I would highly recommend Aptakube to anyone looking for a reliable Kubernetes desktop client and it's definitely one of the best ones out there.

I've been using aptakube for a few weeks and my experience has been great, best alternative to lens out there. very minimal and focused UI. Even if you prefer the terminal experience for managing your cluster, using aptakube to quickly check your cluster's health, deployment manifests, logs/secrets etc is awesome.
u/marianopw
Aptakube has a new approach as a GUI for Kubernetes, allowing me to connect to all clusters I managed simultaneously, saving me some time when working on common chores. In my experience with similar tools, it has been the most performant GUI for K8s.
FC
Very nice, clean and _fast_ app! It's not feature-complete yet but I already like it much better than the "established" apps to talk to kubernetes. And the feature gaps are getting filled real fast.
