Clusterfudge

What Clusterfudge is

Clusterfudge is a native desktop client for managing Kubernetes environments across multiple clusters. It connects to several kubeconfig contexts at once and detects EKS, GKE, AKS, K3s, and OpenShift. The app handles 27+ Kubernetes resource types, including custom resources, with real-time watch updates. Helm lifecycle management uses an embedded Go SDK, so a Helm CLI dependency is not required. For debugging, Clusterfudge can run Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or ChatGPT Codex locally; it redacts secrets, passwords, tokens, and API keys before passing context to the selected tool. A scanner checks pods against Kubernetes Pod Security Standards and provides remediation advice. It also includes multi-tab terminal sessions, searchable log streaming with severity highlighting, and a file-backed audit trail that prunes after 90 days. Clusterfudge is open source under the MIT license and free forever, with no account required. It runs on macOS 12+ and Linux. The maker says it has no telemetry, analytics, or tracking, and makes no external network calls unless explicitly requested.
