more I have nothing to complain about the UI. It’s perfectly designed, fully integrated and functional. The one “but” is the pricing model. I have my home lab that I like to access and manage when on travels. The basic version gives me 95% of what I want. The jump to Pro is $50/yr at this time. I wish there was some license for non-commercial use that is either cheaper or “per major version”. In other words, I’d love to give you $20/yr or $50 one time.. but not $50/yr
Developer Response Thanks a ton for the kind words! We hear you! A lifetime purchase option will be implemented in a future update.

It feels like all you can do is see how things are running. In terms of interactions your options are limited. For instance, most clients let you trigger a job from a cronjob. With Nautik, I can’t seem to do that. I can only view the YAML spec or delete it. If it offered some sort of kubectl terminal that’d be a different story. But right now I feel like I can only just peruse what I’ve deployed and delete stuff.

I use this app daily to keep an eye on my clusters and restart pods as necessary. This is perfect for a single cluster use. My only suggestion would be to add the ability to have multiple clusters, but have only one active at a time for the non subscription version. That way one could access multiple clusters but only manage one at a time. Other than that, this is a fantastic app!

The app is overall amazing! Thank you for making this. Since this is for my homelab, I’m not sure if I’ll pay $50/yr but I’d say pay maybe $20/yr or so. It’s not super critical but I want to support your work. Even if I can’t unlock pro, perhaps have a donate option, so that peeps can donate whatever they think/feel is right for them but also allows supporting the app. Good luck and thank you.

1.7.4 05/11/2025
OIDC, resource creation, visionOS support and improved text views!
- You can now create new resources from YAML.
- The app now natively supports visionOS.
- We've rewritten our text editor, now featuring vastly better performance, proper syntax highlighting, find and replace (on iOS, macOS support will follow), undo and redo, and multi-cursor editing on macOS.
- We've rewritten our terminal and log viewer, now featuring better rendering performance, light and dark theming, multi-line selection of logs, an adjustable font size, and better ANSI color parsing.
- A future update will include the ability to import and create custom themes for the text editor, terminal and log viewer.
- Caution: due to an internal change to the Google integration, previously stored GCP clusters will be removed with this update and will have to be re-added to the app. We're sorry for this inconvenience.
New in 1.7.1:

- We've improved the rendering performance of log streams with very long lines in it.
New in 1.7.3:
- The app now supports the following new resource types: endpoint slice, ingress class, volume attachment, CSI driver, CSI node, CSI storage capacity, certificate signing request, validating webhook configuration, mutating webhook configuration, validating admission policy, and validating admission policy binding.
- The horizontal pod autoscaler client now uses the v2 API instead of v1.
- We've improved the reliability of port forwarding sessions.
- We've improved the reliability of shell connections.
