- Browse and deploy Helm charts from chart repositories
- Inspect, upgrade and delete Helm-based applications installed in the cluster
- Add custom and private chart repositories (supports ChartMuseum and JFrog Artifactory)
- Browse and provision external services from the Service Catalog and available Service Brokers

The Monocular project was designed to run a public search and discovery website for Helm repositories (e.g. https://hub.kubeapps.com). Following its 1.0 release, Monocular is focused on delivering the experience for the Helm Hub.
Versions of Monocular 0.7 and older include a basic ability to install, view and delete Helm releases in a Kubernetes cluster. To focus on the Helm Hub experience, these features have been removed since the 1.0 release and are no longer supported. We recommend users of Monocular's in-cluster features try Kubeapps as it provides a more featured, robust and secure solution to managing Helm applications in your cluster.
