About

kftray and kftui manage Kubernetes port forwards from your desktop or terminal. Both apps share configurations and a Rust backend that reconnects forwards when pods restart or connections drop.

kftray runs as a desktop app with system tray integration.
kftui runs in the terminal, with a CLI for scripts and headless use.

Watch the app overview or the HTTP logging demo.

Features
