A cross-platform AWS S3 GUI for Mac, Windows, and Linux
Buckets by ServerlessCreed is a desktop S3 GUI for engineers who'd rather click than memorize CLI flags. Browse, preview, upload, and manage S3 objects with the keyboard shortcuts and drag-and-drop you expect from an installed desktop app — on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Everything an S3 GUI should do — and more
The AWS web console is fine for clicks-per-week usage. If you live in S3, you need an interface that respects your time.
Drag and drop, the way you expect
Drag files from your OS into a bucket. Drag between buckets to copy across accounts. Drag out to download. No staging area, no re-uploads.
Inline preview for objects
Images, PDFs, JSON, CSV, code, logs — previewed directly without a full download. Range requests fetch only the bytes you actually see.
Multi-bucket, multi-region tabs
Open buckets in side-by-side tabs across accounts and regions. Hop between staging and prod without losing context.
Fast key search and filters
Search prefixes, filter by storage class or last-modified, and sort huge listings without the AWS console's pagination dance.
Visual permissions
Inspect and edit bucket policies, ACLs, and CORS rules with a typed UI. See exactly what each rule does before you save.
Keyboard-first workflow
Every common action has a shortcut. Open, copy URL, generate presigned link, and switch profile without ever touching the mouse.
Looking for the developer-focused angle?
Buckets by ServerlessCreed doubles as a full AWS S3 client with AI code generation, AWS SSO, multi-profile support, and an S3 cost estimator. The same app, more depth.

What is an AWS S3 GUI for Mac?+
Buckets by ServerlessCreed is a macOS S3 desktop client built for Apple Silicon Macs. It supports drag-and-drop uploads, side-by-side bucket browsing, AWS SSO login, multi-profile switching, and a visual bucket policy editor. Cyberduck and Transmit also have S3 support, but they're general-purpose file transfer apps; Buckets by ServerlessCreed is purpose-built for S3.
Does AWS provide an official S3 GUI?+

Can I preview files in Buckets by ServerlessCreed without downloading them?+
