Freeze - for Amazon Glacier for Mac

Simplifying Amazon Glacier Transfers on macOS

Freeze is a macOS application built to make moving data to Amazon Glacier straightforward and flexible. It replaces fiddly command-line workflows with an intuitive graphical interface, making archive management faster and less error-prone. The app focuses on practical tools that help you keep local files and Glacier vaults in sync while reducing manual overhead.

Core capabilities and workflow

• Upload several files at once and pick up where you left off if a transfer is interrupted.
• Permanently remove vaults or individual archives straight from the app.
• Keep a local folder and a Glacier vault synchronized so changes propagate automatically.
• Identify and mark duplicated files to avoid storing unnecessary copies.
• Cross-verify your Glacier inventory against folders on your Mac to ensure nothing is missing.
• Inspect vault inventories across multiple AWS regions from one place.

Why it’s useful

• No need to learn or maintain command-line scripts — everything is done through an accessible UI.
• The clean interface speeds up routine archive tasks and reduces mistakes.
• Built-in duplicate detection and inventory comparison help optimize storage and avoid redundant uploads.
• Pause and resume support plus parallel transfers improve throughput and reliability for large data sets.
