LocalKeys

LocalKeys protects your API keys and environment variables using a local, encrypted vault — no internet connection required. .env files are increasingly dangerous. Recent security research shows that AI coding agents can be manipulated to leak credentials through prompt injection attacks, and malicious dependencies can silently exfiltrate secrets from your system. LocalKeys solves this with: Local-first architecture: Your secrets never leave your machine Process approval system: Every program needs your explicit permission to access secrets AES-256-GCM encryption: Industry-standard encryption protects your vault GUI and CLI support: Use it with any IDE or workflow Zero workflow disruption: Run existing commands like npm start through LocalKeys Built for indie developers and small teams who care about security without enterprise complexity.
