About Rancher Desktop

Rancher Desktop is a free, open-source desktop application that runs Kubernetes and container management locally on Mac, Windows and Linux for developers. It bundles a container runtime, kubectl and image tooling so developers can build and test containerized apps on their workstation. The app is free; SUSE offers separate paid enterprise support for the broader Rancher platform.
