The only API key management solution built specifically for developers who value privacy, security, and simplicity
As developers, we're accumulating API keys faster than ever. OpenAI, GitHub, Stripe, AWS, Google Cloud, Anthropic, Vercel, MongoDB, Twilio... the list never ends. And we're all managing them terribly.
Chart showing: 73% store keys in plain text, 45% have accidentally committed keys to git, 62% share keys via Slack/email
Real scenario: You're working on a Next.js project with OpenAI integration. You store your API key in a .env file, forget to add it to .gitignore, and push to GitHub. Within minutes, bots scrape your key and rack up hundreds in charges. GitHub sends you a security alert 3 days later.
Real scenario: You have 12 different projects, each with their own .env files. You need your Stripe test key for a new project but can't remember which project folder has the working one. You spend 20 minutes searching through directories and text files.
Real scenario: You're building a demo and need to quickly grab your Claude API key. It's buried in your password manager under "Anthropic" (or was it "Claude"?), requiring you to open another app, search, copy, and context switch away from your flow state.
Real scenario: Your teammate needs the development Stripe webhook secret. You send it via Slack DM, which is logged and searchable. Later, you realize you sent the production key by mistake, and now you need to rotate it across 3 services.
Real scenario: You're integrating with multiple services: OpenAI keys start with "sk-", GitHub tokens with "ghp_", Stripe with "sk_test_" or "sk_live_". You paste the wrong format key and waste 30 minutes debugging before realizing it's a test key in production.
Real scenario: Your OpenAI bill jumps to $200 this month. You have keys scattered across 5 projects and 3 environments. Which key is burning through credits? You have no way to track which key is used where.

We analyzed every possible solution developers currently use. Here's why they all fall short for API key management:
| Solution | Developer Workflow | Quick Access | Local Storage | Key Organization | Cost | Why It Fails |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plain Text Files | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | Free | Zero security, easy to accidentally commit, no organization |
| 1Password | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | $36/year | Not designed for developers, slow access, requires internet, overkill UI |
| Bitwarden | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | $10/year | Generic password manager, not optimized for API key workflows |
| LastPass | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | $36/year | Security breaches, slow, requires internet, generic interface |
| AWS KMS | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | $1+/month | Enterprise overkill, complex setup, requires AWS account, costs money |
| Environment Variables | ✓ | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ | Free | Not portable, machine-specific, hard to share between projects |
| Notion/Notes Apps | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | $4+/month | Not secure, requires internet, slow search, not designed for sensitive data |
| Browser Bookmarks | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ | Free | Completely insecure, visible in browser, not designed for sensitive data |
| Key Manager | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Free | Built specifically for developers ✨ |

Chrome extension popup gives you one-click access to any API key. No switching apps, no searching through files. Click, copy, paste, done.
Your keys never leave your machine. No cloud sync, no servers, no "convenient" features that compromise security. Your laptop, your keys, your control.
Tag keys by service (OpenAI, Stripe), environment (dev, prod), or project. Search by name, description, or tag. Finally, organization that makes sense.
Keys are masked by default (sk-...xyz). No accidental screen sharing leaks. No storing in browser history. Built-in protection against common mistakes.
No bloated enterprise interface. No features you'll never use. Just a clean, fast interface designed for developers who need to get stuff done.
Type "stripe" and instantly see all your Stripe keys. Type "prod" to see production keys. Search works across names, descriptions, and tags.
