Introducing Topiq

A fast, native desktop client for managing Apache Kafka clusters.

announcement release

We’re excited to announce the release of Topiq, a modern desktop application for managing Apache Kafka clusters.

Why We Built Topiq

Working with Kafka often means switching between terminal windows, writing scripts, and piecing together information from multiple sources. We wanted a better way.

Topiq brings everything you need into a single, native application:

  • Browse topics with instant search and filtering
  • View messages in real-time with JSON and Avro support
  • Monitor consumer groups to identify lag and issues
  • Manage clusters with saved connection profiles

Native Performance

Unlike web-based tools, Topiq runs natively on your machine. This means:

  • Fast startup - launch instantly without waiting for servers
  • Low memory usage - efficient resource consumption
  • Offline capable - work without internet access
  • Secure - your credentials never leave your machine

Cross-Platform Support

Topiq is available now for:

  • macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel)

Windows and Linux support is coming soon — sign up for the beta to get notified.

Try It Free

We offer a 30-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card required.
