Getting started

Install DevOpsPad on macOS, add your first database or cluster connection, learn the workspace layout and keyboard shortcuts, and keep the app updated.

  • What is DevOpsPad?

    DevOpsPad is a desktop app for read-only database and Kubernetes access plus reviewed K3s releases. What it does, what it does not do, and who it is for.

  • Install DevOpsPad on macOS

    Download the signed and notarized DevOpsPad DMG for Apple silicon Macs, move the app to Applications and open it. Includes the optional devopspadctl CLI.

  • Add your first connection

    Create a DevOpsPad connection - pick an engine, enter the host and credentials or a kubeconfig, run Test connection, save it and start browsing.

  • A tour of the DevOpsPad workspace

    Learn the DevOpsPad layout - the navigation rail, the 中间件 and Infra workspaces, the Explorer tree, query tabs, editor, results grid and the AI assistant panel.

  • DevOpsPad keyboard shortcuts

    The keyboard shortcuts DevOpsPad supports today - run a query, jump to a connection and create a new connection - and where each one works.

  • Update DevOpsPad to a new version

    How DevOpsPad checks GitHub for new releases, what the update prompt offers, and how to install a new version without losing connections or project settings.

  • Build DevOpsPad from source

    Build and run DevOpsPad from source with Go, Node.js and Wails v2 on macOS, Windows or Linux, including the browser-only UI preview and the test suite.
