Field notes
The homepage describes a cluster-facing desktop workflow rather than a dashboard: lists watch the API server, log tabs start following, and pod shells are tied to their tabs. It says usage charts sample metrics-server only while the app is open, while alerts use field selectors and kubelet events rather than reading every pod. The advertised version is 0.7.0, with builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
