Kustomize Helper is designed to process Kubernetes manifests with as little data collection as practical. The tool runs entirely in your browser and never connects to a cluster.

YAML files and pasted data are processed in your browser

When you import a YAML file or paste YAML text, the content is read in-memory by JavaScript in your browser tab. Parsing, kustomization building, manifest inspection, overlay generation, preview, and export file generation all happen locally.

The application does not upload or store imported YAML

Kustomize Helper does not have a backend that receives your manifest content. No network request is made that contains your imported YAML. YAML content is not written to local storage by default; only optional UI preferences would be stored. Start over clears locally held data from the application state.

The application does not connect to a Kubernetes cluster

Kustomize Helper never runs kubectl, never reads a kubeconfig, and never contacts an API server. The tool is offline and static-analysis only.

The application does not require an account

There is no sign-up, sign-in, or account of any kind. The tool is a free public utility.

No advertising or third-party tracking

Kustomize Helper does not load Google Analytics, advertising scripts, session-recording tools, or third-party marketing scripts. There are no third-party trackers on the page.

Server request logs

When you load the site, your browser requests the static HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and image assets that make up the application. Standard web server request logs may record the URL, time, IP address, and user agent of those asset requests. These logs do not intentionally capture YAML content, because YAML content is never transmitted to the server.

Avoid sensitive data on shared devices

Because processing is local, you should avoid processing sensitive manifests on shared or untrusted devices. Use the Start over button when you are finished to clear locally held data from the application state.
