Kira

Kira is a native macOS desktop client for AWS — "AWS, without the friction". Built with Go, Wails and React + TypeScript, it consolidates AWS operations into a single, keyboard-driven app. Authenticate once via AWS SSO and manage infrastructure across many accounts without ever switching between the console, the CLI, and a pile of database tools.

It started as a personal itch: jumping between browser tabs, aws commands, and a separate SQL client just to ship a change felt slow. Kira pulls those workflows into one fast, native window — sign in, pick an account, and everything you reach for is a keystroke away.

Key Highlights

• Multi-account AWS SSO - Sign in once, then switch between accounts and regions from one place
• ECS - Browse clusters, services, and tasks; redeploy, scale, and roll back services; view task definitions; monitor service metrics; and open an interactive shell via ECS Exec
• Databases - Run SQL against RDS, query and scan DynamoDB, and connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redshift — with secure SSH tunneling and credentials stored in the macOS Keychain
• S3 - Navigate buckets and prefixes; preview, upload, download, copy, rename, and delete objects; and create folders
• Secrets Manager - List secrets and retrieve their values for the active account
• CloudWatch Logs - Tail and search log streams
• Smart Query - Optional AI-assisted SQL generation powered by the claude CLI
• Extensions - Install custom .kext bundles that add action buttons backed by small Go scripts
• Fast navigation - A global summon hotkey, a Cmd+K command palette, and kira:// deep linking

A closer look

Watch your ECS services live — task health, CPU and memory, deploy state — and redeploy, scale, or roll back without leaving the list.

Browse S3 like a file manager. Preview objects, inspect metadata and versions, and upload, download, rename, or delete inline.

Distributed as a signed, notarized .dmg for macOS.
