Franz is a native macOS desktop client for Apache Kafka. It is not Open Source. I'm providing the source code here because I want users to be able to see the code they're running and even change and build it for themselves if they want to. You are free to read the code, and to build and run the application yourself, on your own devices, but please don't share any built artifacts with others. If you find Franz useful, please consider purchasing a license.
