Many Kubernetes users liked Lens (or even still do). After it became not Open Source and Lens ID was introduced, many switched to OpenLens. Unfortunately, that fork did not last long and hasn’t issued any releases since July 2023. However, it turned out to be another fork, which is currently active: Freelens.

This project started around January of this year, and released its v1.0.0 in February and further v1.1.0 just five days ago. Today, Freelens:

- is fully compatible with the latest Kubernetes version (1.32);
- comes with kubectl v1.32.3 and Helm v3.17.2;
- is based on Electron 34.3.3 with Node 20.18.3 and Chrome 132.0.6834.210;
- requires GNU C Library 2.34+ for Linux (i.e. Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04, Fedora 35, openSUSE Leap 15.4), macOS 11+ or Windows 10+ to run.
