Sync Only the Regions and Zones You Need
Narrow the view to the Regions and hosted zones involved in the task instead of pulling in unnecessary data and rebuilding your mental map every time.
Read-Only AWS Access • Local-First Desktop Workflow
Read-Only AWS Topology Map for Faster VPC, Route53, and Peering Reviews
Cloud Network Observer is an AWS network visualizer for startups, small teams, and solo developers who need one read-only view for VPC, Route53, routing, and resource relationships before incidents, cleanup work, or production changes.

Traffic simulation is currently disabled and remains a roadmap item for a later release. Cloud Network Observer is now available as a paid Mac App Store release with no trial, IAP, or license-key flow.
Unified network viewMain topology workspace
Where AWS network work gets slow
Bring fragmented network context back into one working surface
AWS network reviews often mean opening multiple Regions, Route53 records, and resource detail panes just to answer one question. These workflows cut down the repetitive navigation and make comparisons faster.
Highlight 02
Search Any Resource and Fly to It
Jump directly to the resource you need instead of manually scanning a large topology or opening several AWS screens to find the same object.
Highlight 03
Compare Multiple Resource Details Side by Side
Keep related details visible together so you can compare routes, subnets, gateways, and DNS-linked resources without tab flipping and note juggling.
Highlight 04
Read-Only and Local-First by Design
Inspect production-like environments with less anxiety by keeping access read-only and data local to the desktop workflow.
Use cases
An AWS network visualizer for change review, incident triage, and cleanup checks
Cloud Network Observer is aimed at startups, small teams, and solo developers who need a read-only way to understand VPC, Route53, peering, and resource relationships before they change something or respond to an issue.
Review VPC, Route53, and peering changes before they ship
Use the read-only AWS topology map when a small team needs to confirm routes, DNS paths, and cross-VPC relationships before making a production change.
Triage AWS network incidents without hopping across console pages
Search a resource, jump to it, and keep related details open side by side so incident review does not turn into repeated console navigation across Regions and services.
Spot cost and cleanup risks during routine topology reviews
Surface CIDR conflicts, missing peering routes, NAT-heavy public-only DNS paths, and unused Elastic IPs inside the same AWS network visualizer workflow.
What gets missed before changes
Catch the signals that are easy to overlook in scattered AWS views
CIDR conflicts, NAT-heavy paths, and unused public IPs are rarely visible in one pass inside the AWS console. The graph helps surface them before they become tickets, costs, or rollback work.
CIDR conflict detection
Spot VPC CIDR Conflicts Early
See overlap and containment risks sooner so address planning and peering changes do not turn into avoidable routing surprises.
DNS and NAT hints
Reveal NAT Cost Risk from DNS Topology
Connect DNS and topology context in one place to spot public-only paths that quietly drive NAT cost and egress friction.
Unused resource visibility
Find Unused Elastic IPs Fast
Reduce cleanup guesswork by seeing idle Elastic IP allocations alongside the topology review you are already doing.

FAQ
Common questions about the read-only AWS topology map
These answers are here to reduce install hesitation now that the Mac App Store listing is public.
Who is Cloud Network Observer for?
It is designed for startups, small teams, and solo developers who operate AWS environments without a large dedicated cloud networking team and need faster VPC, Route53, and peering visibility.
Why not use the AWS console alone?
The AWS console often splits topology, DNS, routes, and resource details across different screens and Regions. This product pulls that context into one read-only map so reviews and triage take less navigation work.
How does AWS access work?
The current product model is an AWS folder selection flow. It reads the credentials and config files you already manage in ~/.aws and restores that folder with a read-only security-scoped bookmark on later launches.
How is the app sold?
Cloud Network Observer is available as a paid Mac App Store download. Launch pricing is set at $15 before moving to the regular $29 price, with no trial, IAP, or license-key flow.
