Product tour
See the real app, not a mockup
Every screen below is the actual Buckets desktop app, captured with sample data.
Find it in any bucket
Search object names across the buckets in the active account from the top bar, grouped by bucket. Global Object Search runs one reviewed scan across all your saved accounts, grouped by account and bucket.
Features
The S3 work you do every day, made effortless
Buckets is built around the tasks engineers repeat every week, so the common path is always one click away.
Every AWS account, one click away
Sign in with IAM Identity Center (AWS SSO), your CLI profiles or access keys. Keep each account in its own tab, switch in a click, and search across saved accounts in one reviewed scan.
Paste a link, get an object
Buckets downloads the URL to a temporary local file, then uploads it to S3. Downloads resume when the source supports range requests.
Illustration: a URL is pasted, downloaded to a temporary file, then uploaded to the bucket as launch-film-4k.mp4.
Every action, one keystroke
Press Ctrl K (⌘K on Mac) to jump to a bucket, copy an ARN or edit a policy without hunting through menus.
Share a file in seconds
Copy an object's S3 URI, HTTPS URL or ARN, or create a presigned link that lasts 1 minute to 7 days. Links signed with SSO or other temporary credentials stop working when that session ends.
From click to code
Turn an action into ready-to-edit TypeScript, JavaScript or Python, or generate and run the matching AWS CLI command.
await s3.send(new GetObjectCommand({
Bucket: "northstar-prod-media",
Key: "q3-revenue-summary.pdf",
}));How it works

One app for the whole S3 workflow
Beyond the everyday essentials, Buckets covers access control, delivery and cost, so you can run S3 end to end without switching tools.
Security
Your data stays between you and AWS
Buckets was designed local-first, so adopting it doesn't mean handing your keys or your files to another service.
Visit the Trust CenterRuns on your machine
Buckets is a desktop app. Your credentials are stored locally, not on our servers.
Straight to AWS
Every S3 request goes directly from your computer to AWS. Your files never pass through us.
Short-lived credentials
Use AWS SSO and IAM Identity Center sessions instead of long-lived access keys.
Your permissions, respected
Buckets can only do what your IAM identity is allowed to do. Nothing more.
