KDash is a terminal-based Kubernetes dashboard written in Rust.
It gives administrators and developers an interactive way to inspect cluster resources, view logs, follow metrics, switch contexts, and troubleshoot workloads without leaving the command line. The interface is designed around fast keyboard-driven navigation and resource views for common Kubernetes objects.
This is free and open source software.
