Profile Registry

We've added a brand new feature that allows you to standardize your AWS access and manage your AWS profiles. Common Fate will now generate ~/.aws/config profiles for you! This setting can be enabled or disabled from the settings, and when enabled it will run every time you connect to an AWS organization using Common Fate.


All your existing profiles will be preserved and you will be able to filter out pre-existing profiles from our new profile viewer page cf://profiles which can be accessed from the command palette or the menu bar.

New Toolbar

Preview what accounts you're signed in to, and authenticate in one click!

Pop-up code for AWS login

When logging into AWS using Common Fate, a pop-up window now displays the access code.

Integrated Terminal

Common Fate now includes an integrated terminal. You can open a terminal to any AWS account by choosing the Terminal option from the Search Palette. Terminal tabs are colored to match the AWS account that you're operating on.


AWS session credentials are automatically refreshed for terminal tabs.

Built-In Support

If you have feedback, questions, or problems you can now get in touch with our team directly inside our desktop client. After installing Common Fate, visit cf://support to get in touch. When reporting a bug you can submit diagnostic information which can help our team debug AWS-setup related issues. This information can be found at cf://diagnostics.

Browser Selection

Common Fate includes an integrated web browser powered by Chromium, which is used to open AWS Console links. If you prefer, you can now opt-out of the integrated browser and use Chrome, Arc, Firefox, or Brave. Let us know on Slack if you'd like to see support for other alternative browsers.

cf:// Links Navigation

We've implemented a series of enhancements in our navigation capabilities. Now, you can open cf://... links by simply pasting them into the URL bar. Additionally, we've expanded the functionality to allow you to open cf:// links directly from other applications.

Faster keyboard navigation

Introducing keyboard navigation to Common Fate. The search bar now stays in place as you change between pages making it a lot easier to see which account/service you’ve selected.

We use a stack-based navigation in Common Fate. Resource pages stack on top of Service pages, which stack on top of Account pages. You can navigate backwards in the stack by pressing backspace, and forwards by pressing enter.
