Install Clusterfudge, connect to your first cluster, and start managing resources in under two minutes.
Choose your preferred installation method.
Download the latest release from the Downloads page or from GitHub Releases.
Requires Go 1.25+ and Node.js 22+.
Clusterfudge reads your existing kubeconfig automatically. If you already have ~/.kube/config set up, you're ready to go.
On launch, Clusterfudge discovers all contexts from your kubeconfig. Select any context from the sidebar cluster list to connect.
Go to Settings > Kubeconfig to add additional kubeconfig file paths. Multiple files are merged, just like kubectl.
Clusterfudge performs reachability and authentication validation before connecting, so you get clear error messages instead of timeouts.
Clusterfudge is keyboard-first. Here are the shortcuts you'll use most.
| Cmd+K | Open the command palette. Search for anything — resources, actions, views. |
| G + key | Vim-style chord navigation. G P = Pods, G D = Deployments, etc. |
| Up/Down | Navigate table rows. Enter opens detail panel. |
| L | View logs for the selected pod. |
| X | Exec (shell) into the selected pod's container. |
Press ? at any time to see the full shortcut reference.
If you have Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or ChatGPT Codex installed, Clusterfudge can use them to debug pod issues.
Go to Settings > AI and enable your preferred provider. Clusterfudge auto-detects installed tools.
Select any pod and click the AI tab in the bottom tray. Clusterfudge gathers context (pod YAML, logs, events) and launches an interactive AI session with all sensitive data automatically redacted.
