Get started on Windows in three steps

  1. Point your kubeconfig at the cluster. Any cluster in your kubeconfig works — cloud (GKE, AKS, EKS, DOKS) or local (Docker Desktop, minikube, kind).
  2. Open Kubebar. It picks up every context automatically — no account and no cloud backend.
  3. Choose a context. Switch clusters and namespaces right from the menu bar or tray.

What you can do from the menu bar

Kubebar lives in the Windows system tray and reads the kubeconfig you already use with kubectl — no WSL and no terminal window to keep open.

Health at a glance. A status dot in the menu bar or tray turns red the moment a pod crashes or CPU and memory run high — with desktop alerts, so you notice without watching a dashboard.
Live pod logs. Stream logs from any pod in a real-time window, filter them, and copy or save exactly what you need.
One-click actions. Restart pods, scale deployments, roll out restart or undo, and cordon or drain nodes — each with a confirmation step so nothing happens by accident.
Switch clusters instantly. Every context from your kubeconfig is one click away; jump between clusters and namespaces straight from the menu bar.
Multi-cloud in one app. Manage GKE, AKS, EKS, DigitalOcean and local clusters like Docker Desktop, minikube and kind side by side.
Native and private. No account and no cloud backend — your credentials and kubeconfig never leave your machine.

A native Kubernetes client for Windows

On Windows, monitoring Kubernetes usually means a terminal, WSL or a heavy dashboard. Kubebar is a native Windows app in the system tray: a health dot for every cluster, live logs and one-click actions, with no WSL and no terminal to keep open. It reads your existing kubeconfig, so any cluster you can reach with kubectl works — and it runs on Windows 10 and 11.
