A native Kubernetes client
Find your bearings. Follow the signals. Work with your cluster in a workspace that feels at home on Mac, iPad and iPhone.
System and app language: English. Real app screenshots with synthetic cluster data.
Less searching. More understanding.
Go from the cluster overview to a workload, its logs, or its YAML. Keep the useful context close as you investigate and make changes.
01 / EXPLORE
Browse built-in resources and custom resource types. Search and filter your workspace, inspect related objects, and open the definition or YAML when you need a closer look.
02 / INVESTIGATE
See current usage through Metrics Server and explore history from your existing Prometheus. Bring logs from workload replicas together when one Pod does not tell the whole story.
Metrics are read from your connected services. Pharex does not operate a metrics collection backend.
03 / OPERATE
Browse charts and versions, inspect release history, and review resources before installing, upgrading or updating values. YAML editing uses the same familiar review flow.
One familiar workspace
A wide workspace on Mac. A focused touch experience on iPad. The essentials within reach on iPhone. Native controls, thoughtful layouts, and English or Simplified Chinese throughout.
Saved connections currently stay on each device.
Local first, by design
Connect from your device using your Kubernetes identity. Work within your permissions, keep credentials in device-local secure storage, and choose when to apply a change.
Your device connects to your configured cluster and services. No Pharex account is required to connect.
Kubernetes RBAC and your connection scope govern what you can see and do.
Review resource changes before confirming. Read-only mode is available for browsing.
Pharex is in development. Downloads for Mac, iPad and iPhone are coming soon. A release date has not been announced.
Pharex is a Kubernetes client. It connects to your existing cluster; it does not provide a hosted cluster or send your metrics and logs to a Pharex backend.
Not for browsing resources or using the core workspace. Metrics Server supplies current CPU and memory usage when available. Historical charts use an existing Prometheus service.
The app and this website support English and Simplified Chinese. This website selects a language from your browser preference on the first visit. You can switch at any time.
On the horizon
Pharex is coming to your Apple devices. Watch this space for downloads.

Updated 31 October 2026. This policy describes Pharex for iPhone, iPad and Mac and this product website.
Pharex is a local-first Kubernetes client. It connects from your device to the clusters, authentication providers, chart repositories and observability services you configure. Pharex does not operate a backend that collects your cluster resources, logs, metrics or Kubernetes credentials. No Pharex account or advertising analytics is included.
Saved credentials use device-local Keychain storage without iCloud synchronization. Imported kubeconfig source files remain under your control; the app does not persist their raw YAML. Local preferences, approved file bookmarks and bounded workspace data support the features you use.
Optional Microsoft Entra sign-in, including AKS authentication, uses the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL). When you use these features, Microsoft and your organization’s identity services may process names, email addresses and other contact information, user and device identifiers, authentication diagnostics and related support information to provide sign-in, token renewal, security and support. Phone numbers may be processed where the selected authentication method requires it. This does not mean every category is collected on every sign-in. Pharex does not receive your Microsoft password.
Microsoft and your organization govern their identity-service processing and retention under their own policies. Microsoft Privacy Statement: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement. Connections that use other supported credentials do not require Microsoft sign-in. Pharex does not use authentication data for advertising, tracking across other companies’ apps or websites, or sale to data brokers.
Apple processes purchases and payments. Pharex uses verified StoreKit transaction and entitlement information on your device to determine Pro access; it does not receive your payment-card details or Apple Account password. Apple and the services you configure process information under their own policies.
If you email [email protected] for privacy questions or support, we receive your email address and the message details you choose to send, and use them to respond and investigate your request. Send only what is needed; do not send kubeconfigs, tokens, passwords, private keys or confidential cluster payloads. The app does not automatically upload cluster data or attach authentication logs to support messages.
You control connections, exports and locally saved data. Disconnect, credential cleanup and operation recovery remain available without Pro. Reset Local Data removes app-managed local state; it does not delete your cluster resources, source-owned configuration files or records held by Apple, Microsoft or your configured services. Use the relevant provider’s controls for its data. Apple purchase history is managed by Apple and is not erased by an app reset.
This website remembers your explicit language choice in local storage. It includes no analytics, external fonts or tracking scripts. The hosting provider may process ordinary request information, such as IP address and browser details, to deliver and secure the website.
App Store downloads are licensed under Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement unless a separate custom agreement is provided with the app. These product explanations do not replace Apple’s terms or applicable consumer rights.
You are responsible for using credentials and clusters you are authorized to access. Resource changes, Helm deployments, Exec, file transfer and port forwarding can affect workloads and data. Pro access does not grant Kubernetes permissions or remove read-only mode, reviewed plans, confirmations or resource preconditions.
Free includes connection, resource inspection, events, metrics, logs and Helm inventory. All Pro purchase options unlock the same resource changes, Helm deployments, Exec, file transfer and port forwarding on iPhone, iPad and Mac using the same Apple Account and shared app purchase record.
Availability depends on your cluster APIs, permissions, network, configured services and supported app features. A purchase does not provide a hosted Kubernetes service, concurrent multi-cluster operation or a separate service-level agreement. Launch timing and public support details will be provided before release.
The app is in development. Product prices shown in local StoreKit tests are simulated and are not a public launch offer. In a released app, Apple’s purchase sheet shows the actual localized price and billing terms for your storefront before you confirm.
Pro Monthly and Pro Yearly are auto-renewable subscriptions in one subscription group. The full monthly or yearly amount is charged for the selected period. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled through Apple’s subscription management. Cancelling renewal normally retains access until the paid period ends; refunds or revocation can change access.
Pro Permanent is a non-consumable purchase with no scheduled expiry. It is subject to Apple’s refund and revocation handling. Buying Permanent does not cancel a separate existing subscription: manage that subscription to avoid further renewal charges.
Use Restore Purchases with the Apple Account that made the purchase. Pending or unverified transactions do not unlock Pro. Previously verified permanent ownership can be available offline; subscription access follows its verified expiry and any verified billing grace period. Refunds, revocations and account changes are reflected when StoreKit provides updated information.
A purchase or restore never submits a previously blocked cluster action automatically. After Pro access changes, existing operation receipts, reconciliation, disconnect and owned-resource cleanup remain available. Subscription management and refund requests are handled through Apple. Family Sharing, trials and final regional launch schedules have not been enabled for this local implementation.
