About Hoistbay
Hoistbay is a free desktop app for managing Amazon S3 storage and CloudFront delivery.
Developers and teams use Hoistbay to upload build folders to S3, automatically apply cache headers, clear CloudFront cache, and manage multiple AWS accounts—all from a desktop app instead of the AWS console. It's built for deployment workflows and suits anyone who regularly deploys to AWS.
- Upload files with automatic Cache-Control header rules per bucket
- Clear CloudFront cache and monitor invalidation progress
- Switch between multiple AWS accounts and regions instantly
- Drag-and-drop uploads and downloads with folder structure preserved
- View and edit object metadata and HTTP headers without re-uploading
Good to know: Free and open-source. Works on macOS and Windows. Credentials stored securely in OS keychain, no backend servers or analytics.
Key features
- Auto header rules: Set once per bucket; Hoistbay applies correct Cache-Control headers to every file type automatically.
- Local key storage: AWS access keys stored only in your OS keychain; never sent to servers or collected.
- Multi-account switching: Save and switch between AWS accounts and regions with one click during deployments.
