Read the full description
Krust is a native Kubernetes app for macOS, built with Swift and Rust. No Electron, no account, nothing installed in your cluster. Your existing kubeconfig just works. See resources, events, logs, metrics and topology in one window. Search 100K log lines in ~5ms. Manage Helm, CRDs and Argo CD. Ask the AI agent why a pod is failing: it gathers real cluster evidence and asks before any change. Bring your own key or run Ollama locally. Free forever. Pro adds incident workflows.

Partial Kubernetes API clients and resource views are codeable, but a fast, polished native macOS app with Swift/Rust performance work, topology views and Argo CD/Helm management is a substantial engineering effort.
What it would actually take: It would take a native Swift UI layer over a Rust core that talks to the Kubernetes API via the kubeconfig and watch streams. The hard parts are efficient log indexing and search (the ~5ms claim), real-time resource caching, and topology rendering at scale. Someone with Kubernetes internals and systems-performance experience would be needed to get these right.
