Visualize your cluster as a live map. Understand what broke and why at a glance. Debug with streaming logs, events and YAML. Kubernetes, in your pocket.
Foredeck is the first touch-native Kubernetes console for iPhone and iPad.
Add a cluster from its kubeconfig and you get the view you would have on a laptop: what is running, what is wrong, and the actions your credential is allowed to take.
The Deck
A cluster opens as a map. Namespaces are hexagons packed edge to edge, each application a ring split by the health of its replicas, each pod a ring split by its containers. Tap to fly into a namespace, an application, a pod, a container; the panel beside it shows usage against requests and limits, recent events, and how traffic reaches the thing you are looking at — Ingress, Gateway, HTTPRoute or VirtualService, through the Service and its endpoints, down to the pods. The same map can be grouped by node instead of by namespace.
The Overview
Every resource type the cluster serves, as lists: workloads, network, configuration, storage, RBAC, cluster resources, and your own custom resources. A CRD gets the same lists, details, YAML and health treatment as a Pod, because health is read from the conditions every controller publishes.
Watch live
Foredeck lists once and then watches, applying changes as the API server sends them. Logs stream and follow, from one container or from every replica of a workload at once, with the previous instance readable after a crash.
Detailed statuese
CrashLoopBackOff, ImagePullBackOff, Init:0/2, Pending because nothing can schedule it — the container-level reason, not just "Running".
Work with the cluster - touch native
Scale, restart, roll out, cordon, evict, delete, edit YAML with syntax highlighting and search, tune requests and limits with sliders, deploy from a template. Each one appears only after the cluster confirms your credential may do it, and any cluster can be marked read-only.
Convenient best practices at your fingertips
One pass over a namespace checks the things that cause incidents: missing probes, absent resource requests, a single replica behind a Service, images pinned to latest, Pod Security Admission left unset — and sets the enforce, audit and warn levels for you, with the consequences spelled out before anything is applied.
New yet so familiar
Go to (Command-K on a keyboard) finds a namespace, an application, a pod, a resource type or an object by name, and understands the shorthands your fingers already know: ns, deploy, sts, svc, ing, cj.
Storing locally
Cluster addresses and preferences live in the app's own storage; tokens, passwords and client certificate keys live in the iOS Keychain, marked to stay on the device. Foredeck talks only to the clusters you add.
Demo cluster Built in
No cluster to hand? One runs on the device, with a few things going wrong in it, so you can see the whole app before connecting anything.
Note on kubeconfig
Credentials must be self-contained. A kubeconfig written by "aws eks update-kubeconfig" or by gcloud carries a command to fetch a token rather than a token, and iOS cannot run one; client certificates and bearer tokens work everywhere. Foredeck says so at import and shows the commands that produce a usable credential for EKS, GKE, AKS, DigitalOcean, Yandex Cloud and hand-built clusters. The cluster also has to be reachable from the phone — connect your VPN first.

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Take the tour: the demo cluster's welcome card now offers Show Me Around — six quick steps that move on as you do them: dive into a namespace, open an application, climb back up, regroup the board by node, open the Overview, and jump anywhere with Go to (⌘K on a keyboard).
