Install CloudPouch

Download CloudPouch from cloudpouch.dev — the site detects your operating system and serves the right installer automatically — or, on macOS with Homebrew, install it with a single command: brew install cloudpouch.

CloudPouch is a desktop application, not a SaaS signup. Installing it is the whole setup: there is no agent to deploy, no CloudFormation stack to launch, and nothing to install into your AWS account. Everything runs on your computer.

CloudPouch runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. As of v1.49.0, the minimum supported systems are macOS 12 and Windows 10.

  1. Go to cloudpouch.dev.
  2. Click TRY FOR FREE. The site detects your operating system and downloads the matching installer.
  3. Run the installer and open CloudPouch.
Terminal window
brew install cloudpouch

If you need a particular package — for example, your OS detection picked the wrong one, or you deploy through internal tooling — download directly from CloudPouch GitHub Releases. Release assets include:

  • Windows: .exe installer
  • macOS: .dmg and .zip packages
  • Linux: .AppImage package

Pick the asset that matches your operating system.

On first launch, CloudPouch looks for your local AWS configuration. If you have no default profile in ~/.aws/credentials, CloudPouch shows a welcome screen instead of an empty dashboard — that is expected, and the next step fixes it.

Continue with Connect an AWS profile. If your AWS CLI already works, this takes seconds: CloudPouch reads the same ~/.aws files.
