How it's built

Architecture →

Your data stays local

A small agent bundled in the app talks to your brokers directly, over your own network or VPN. Cluster settings and credentials stay on your machine.

Nothing to set up

There's no server to run and no account to create. The installer includes everything Kafui needs, including its own Java runtime.
