Hoistbay is a free desktop app for macOS and Windows that takes the repetitive work out of S3 and CloudFront. Set header rules once (Cache-Control, Content-Type, Content-Encoding by file pattern) and they apply on every upload. Download whole folders, clear CloudFront cache in one click, and switch AWS accounts instantly. Keys stay in your OS keychain, no backend, no telemetry. MIT licensed.
