hey everyone,

just wanted to share something i’ve been working on… kftray is a cross-platform open-source app developed to simplify managing multiple kubectl port forwards

this app is a lightweight menu bar GUI app and is built with Tauri - Rust for the backend and TypeScript for the frontend.

kftray’s got all the port forwarding stuff you’d expect from kubectl, plus a few neat extras:

- auto-reconnect for stable connections
- set up multiple port forwards in one click
- works directly with the Kubernetes API
- supports TCP and UDP via an server proxy relay
- handles proxying port-forwards to any IP or hostname you can reach inside your Kubernetes cluster.
- manage configurations using a local JSON file or Git integration.

check it out :

i’d really appreciate any feedback or ideas to improve the app.

thanks!
