Overview
Freeleapp is a desktop app that gives you access to your cloud accounts without keeping long-term credentials on disk. You configure your AWS and Azure identities once; when you start a session, Freeleapp generates short-lived credentials and writes them where the AWS and Azure CLIs, SDKs and tools already look for them.
All configuration is stored and encrypted on your Mac. See Security for how credentials are handled.
Where it comes from
Section titled “Where it comes from”Freeleapp is a community fork of Leapp, created by Noovolari. Leapp has had no release since v0.26.1 (June 2024), after Noovolari shut down. Freeleapp keeps the desktop app working on current macOS versions:
- One edition with every feature. There is no Pro or Team tier and no sign-in.
- No telemetry. The app does not send usage analytics.
- Your Leapp setup moves over. On first launch Freeleapp copies your Leapp configuration and keychain items to its own locations, see Moving from Leapp.
Freeleapp is not affiliated with Noovolari or beSharp. “Leapp” is a trademark of its respective owners.
