v0.9.3 — Apache 2.0

Multi-cloud analysis,
on your laptop. Not in someone else's cloud.

Turul is a desktop app for AWS and GCP. 200+ scanners across cost, security posture, IAM, network reachability, CIS compliance, and Well-Architected — with built-in AI chat. Credentials live in your OS keychain. The database lives on your machine. Nothing is sent to a third-party SaaS.

Privacy & security

  • Credentials are stored locally, encrypted with AES-256-GCM, and protected by a master password (Touch ID supported on macOS).
  • The local SQLite database never leaves your machine.
  • Outbound traffic is limited to AWS / GCP APIs (and AWS Bedrock if you opt into AI chat). No telemetry, no analytics, no cloud sync.
  • Repository security: branch protection on main, signed-tag releases, CodeQL, OSSF Scorecard, Trivy, dependency review, secret scanning + push protection, all third-party Actions pinned to commit SHAs.
  • Vulnerabilities can be reported privately via the GitHub Security Advisory or per the Security policy.
