Debug Kafka fast. Replay production issues locally.

Kafma is a desktop IDE for Kafka built around one idea: a topic is a tab. Consume and produce in one workspace, inspect schemas and lag, and replay any message to another topic. Data Clone copies a production topic — its config, schemas, and a slice of real data masked by your rules — to a local cluster, so you can reproduce bugs without modifying the source. Kafma connects directly from your device: no app account, no data proxy, no analytics or telemetry. For macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Hi Product Hunt — I'm the maker of Kafma.
Kafka debugging often scatters one investigation across terminals, browser tabs, and scratch files. I built Kafma around a simpler model: a topic is a tab. Messages stream in at the top, the producer stays open below, and the inspect-edit-resend loop stays in one place.
The harder problem I wanted to solve was reproducing issues that only show up with production data. That became Data Clone: copy a topic's configuration, schemas, and a selected slice of messages to a local cluster, mask sensitive fields along the way, and keep the production source read-only.
Kafma runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It connects directly from your device; your Kafka data isn't proxied through us. There are no app accounts, analytics, or telemetry. The Free plan never expires and needs no license key.
I'd love to hear from people who work with Kafka regularly: what would make Kafma useful in your debugging workflow? I'll be around throughout the launch to answer questions.
