Kudu Cloud / $5 per device per month, no minimum, see pricing

Know when a PC you look after needs attention.

Kudu Cloud keeps checking your PC, and the ones you look after for family, while Kudu runs in the background. You get an email when protection switches off, a drive starts failing, or your email turns up in a breach, then you can fix it from any browser.

Protect my first PC How it works

Works with the free Kudu app on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Scales from one PC to a whole fleet.

For you and your family

What you get on one PC for $5 a month.

Kudu keeps your computer tidy. Kudu Cloud tells you when something needs attention and lets you fix it without being in the same room.

Know the moment something’s wrong

Kudu checks in every minute and sends a full health report every 30 minutes. When protection switches off or hardware starts to fail, you get an email. Acknowledge, mute, or set your own thresholds.

Antivirus off · Real-time protection off · Firewall off · BitLocker off · Drive health degrading · Disk almost full · CPU or memory critical · Updates going stale · Critical event-log errors · Device went offline

Breach monitoring

Add your email address and Kudu checks it against Have I Been Pwned every day, so you hear about a leaked password before someone uses it. One address on Basic, five on Pro.

Fix it from your couch

Run cleanups, scans, and updates on any linked PC from your browser. Anything that changes the device stays off until you allow it on that device.

  • Update appsdone
  • Scan for malwaredone

Health score and history

Every PC gets a 0–100 health score built from security, malware, updates, drivers, and resources. A security timeline shows exactly when antivirus, firewall, or encryption changed.

AI safety ratings

Not sure whether a startup item or installed program is safe? Kudu Cloud rates each one from 1 to 10 with a short explanation, so you can tidy up with confidence.

Pro, $9 per device per month, adds:

Vulnerable app alerts

Your installed apps are checked daily against the NVD CVE database. Critical and high-severity issues show up with the fix: usually an update.

Threat monitoring

Network connections are checked against daily threat feeds from 8 sources, covering botnet servers, ransomware infrastructure, and phishing hosts.

AI performance diagnostics

Record a slowdown for up to 15 minutes, choose to share it, and get an AI report with findings, evidence, and next steps.

How it works

Three steps to link a PC.

  1. 1

    Create your account

    Sign up at cloud.usekudu.com and pick a plan. Basic starts at $5 per device per month, with no minimum.

  2. 2

    Paste your key into Kudu

    Open the free Kudu app, go to Cloud, paste your key, and connect. One key can link every PC in your home.

  3. 3

    That’s it

    Your PC appears in the dashboard within seconds and starts reporting. Close the app and Kudu keeps watch.

What Cloud can and can’t do

  • Only system stats and health reports are sent: no file contents, file paths, or personal data.
  • Remote actions come from a fixed allowlist. Cloud can’t run arbitrary scripts.
  • Anything that changes a device stays off until you allow it on that device.
  • Every command is logged, and the desktop app stays free and open source.
For teams and IT

The same service runs a fleet.

The agent that watches one laptop also manages hundreds. Group devices, give your team the right roles, and see health, patches, and compliance across Windows, macOS, and Linux in one place.

Fleet dashboard showing device health scores, online status, and system metrics

Fleet dashboard

Live health scores and CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics for every device, updated in real time. Drill into any device for telemetry, health history, installed apps, and command history.

Patch management view showing pending OS and third-party updates across devices

Patch management

See pending OS and third-party updates by device and how long each machine has gone without patching. Roll out updates to one device, a group, or the whole fleet. No VPN or RDP needed.

Compliance dashboard with SOC 2, CIS, and NIST mapped checks and per-device status

Security and compliance

Continuous checks for disk encryption, antivirus, firewall, OS patches, screen lock, and password policy, mapped to SOC 2, CIS, and NIST controls. Tune thresholds per group and export reports.

Alert center showing malware detections, compliance violations, and device health warnings

Alerts and automated remediation

Route alerts by severity, category, and group to email on every plan, or to Slack, webhooks, and PagerDuty on Pro. Pro automation policies can respond to low health, malware, threats, or compliance failures automatically.

Threat monitoring dashboard showing flagged connections to known-malicious infrastructure

Network threat monitoring

Flag connections to botnet C2 servers, ransomware networks, and known attack sources, using threat intelligence aggregated from 8 sources and updated daily. Pro.

Vulnerability dashboard showing CVE findings grouped by package with severity scores

Vulnerability monitoring

Match installed software against NVD, plus OSV package data on Linux, every night. Critical and high-severity findings feed into health scores and alerts until they're patched. Pro.
