v1.0.x — Production ready

Truss

Production-grade Kubernetes desktop for operators who want a fast GUI without giving up terminal habits.

Linux AppImage • macOS DMG • Windows NSIS • x64 & arm64

Everything operators need

Truss covers the full daily workflow — from context switching to deep resource inspection — without leaving your desk.

Encrypted Vault

Kubeconfigs and profiles are stored with AES-256-GCM (Argon2id) or GPG. Nothing goes to the cloud.
Read-Only by Default

Mutations are blocked until you explicitly toggle Write mode. One less way to fat-finger production.
Three-Pane Layout

Navigator → Resource List → Inspector. Keyboard-driven with draggable splitters and command palette.
Logs, Exec & File Transfer

Stream logs, open a shell, or transfer files — each in a persistent popout window that survives navigation.
Cluster Overview

Node readiness, pod health, and warning events in a single view. Cache warm-up indicator included.
Helm & GitOps

Browse Helm releases, inspect values and history, and navigate ArgoCD/Flux resources natively.

No cluster agent to install. No service to configure. Just download, unlock, and connect.

Grab the AppImage, DMG, or Windows installer from GitHub Releases. No cluster agent needed.

chmod +x truss-*.AppImage
./truss-*.AppImage

Set up your encrypted vault (password or GPG), then import contexts from ~/.kube/config or paste raw YAML.

# Truss auto-detects ~/.kube/config
# or paste kubeconfig YAML directly in-app

Explore your clusters in RO mode. Enable Write mode only when you intend to mutate.

# Toggle Write mode
Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + M

# Open command palette
Cmd/Ctrl + P
