A free desktop app for AWS SSM port forwarding. Save connections, launch tunnels in one click. No open ports, no SSH keys.
Save SSM connections once, launch them in one click. No open ports, no SSH keys, no bastion hosts — just IAM, with a UI that doesn't slow you down. Every feature exists because the CLI workflow was painful in a specific, repeatable way. Run up to 5 tunnels in parallel. Each session gets its own tab in the terminal modal — switch between them instantly. Independent status indicators in the sidebar. Save connections with name, instance ID, service, region, and profile — then launch in a single click. No more hunting for IDs or scrolling through history. No inbound ports. No SSH keys. No bastion hosts. Built entirely on AWS SSM — the same IAM-based security you already rely on. Catches a busy…from aws-ssm-manager.netlify.app

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
