π‘ The Problem
Managing multiple AWS accounts daily (often 5β10+) creates:
- Context switching overhead β losing time finding the right account

- Risk of mistakes β accidentally acting in the wrong account (e.g., Prod vs Dev)
- Konto solves this with one-click navigation, visual cues, and session awareness.
