Application Insights Desktop Applicaion

My company is moving to Azure Application Insights. The logging is fine, but having to go into the Azure web portal to write a query stinks. Are there any desktop application to use like SSMS to query with? I have googled for it. but "Application Insights Application" is a bit redundant and didn't yield great results...

    You can use the client tool Kusto Explorer to query Application Insights logs. And here is already a similar issue.
