BucketMate
BucketMate is a modern S3 client available as a native macOS application and a web app. It provides a unified interface for managing multiple S3-compatible storage providers, including AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, and Supabase Storage. The tool aims to replace cluttered cloud consoles with a clean, fast GUI for everyday bucket and object operations. Key features include browsing and managing buckets, uploading and downloading objects, moving or renaming files, inline preview of images, text, and PDFs, viewing file metadata, and performing bulk actions. Users can generate presigned share links with custom expiration and track share history. BucketMate also supports organizing accounts into workspaces, pinning favorite buckets, hiding unused ones, and drag-and-drop reordering. The macOS app requires macOS 13+ and supports both Intel and Apple Silicon, while the web version runs in modern browsers.
