Desktop Kubernetes IDE built from the Lens source code.

OpenLens distributes desktop binaries built from the open-source portion of the Lens Kubernetes management application. These builds run without a Lens login and support extensions, including a separately installed node and pod menu extension. Packages are documented for macOS, Linux and Windows; the build repository warns that further updates should not be expected after upstream source closure.
