| ### CivoCloudManager (macOS) | ||
|
|
||
| [CivoCloudManager](https://civo-cloud-manager.app) is a native macOS application that runs the Civo Cloud control plane from the Mac menu bar and a full dashboard window. It talks to the [Civo REST API v2](https://www.civo.com/api) directly, connects to the Kubernetes API per cluster using PKCS#12 client certificates (no kubectl required), and ships a native S3-compatible browser for Civo Object Storage. |

What this PR does
Adds a "Community tools" section to the Civo tools overview that introduces CivoCloudManager, a community-built native macOS client for the Civo Cloud platform.
Why
The current tools-overview page lists the Civo CLI and Terraform — both maintained by Civo. There is also a community-built GUI surface that fills a gap a CLI cannot: live Kubernetes pod logs, native S3 browser, menu-bar firewall toggling without an MFA loop. Mentioning it on the tools-overview page gives Mac-using Civo customers a discoverable native option without having to leave the docs.
What is CivoCloudManager
A native macOS app distributed via the Mac App Store. Built independently of Civo Ltd.
It talks to the documented Civo REST API v2 only — no proprietary backend in the loop, no telemetry, no analytics. Apple frameworks only (SwiftUI, CryptoKit, Security, LocalAuthentication).
Notable features:
Disclosure
I am the author of CivoCloudManager. Happy to adjust the wording, move the section, shorten the entry, or split it into a dedicated "Community tools" sub-page — whatever fits your editorial preferences. If the addition is unwanted, I'll close the PR with no hard feelings.
