24 alternatives to AI Vault

I built Vault-AI to solve a problem I kept running into when building AI apps: API keys and secrets end up scattered in .env files, hardcoded, or shared insecurely. Vault-AI is a lightweight, self-hosted secrets manager — kind of like HashiCorp Vault, but simplified and aimed at AI workloads. It runs in Docker, comes with a simple CLI, and manages tenants, token-based auth, secret rotation, rollback, version history, and audit logs. Quickstart: git clone → ./start.sh → vault-ai store/get Repo: https://gitlab.com/vaultaiproject/vault-ai.git Would love feedback…

    Hey HN! Today we're launching Agent Vault - an open source HTTP credential proxy and vault for AI agents. Repo is at https://github.com/Infisical/agent-vault, and there's an in-depth description at https://infisical.com/blog/agent-vault-the-open-source-crede.... We built Agent Vault in response to a question that been plaguing the industry: How do we give agents secure access to services without them reading any secrets? Most teams building agents have run into this exact problem: They build an agent or agentic system and come to realize at some point…

    We built OneCLI because AI agents are being given raw API keys. And it's going about as well as you'd expect. We figured the answer isn't "don't give agents access," it's "give them access without giving them secrets." OneCLI is an open-source gateway that sits between your AI agents and the services they call. You store your real credentials once in OneCLI's encrypted vault, and give your agents placeholder keys. When an agent makes an HTTP call through the proxy, OneCLI matches the request by host/path, verifies the agent should have access, swaps the placeholder for the real…

    I keep running in the same problem of each AI app “remembers” me in its own silo. ChatGPT knows my project details, Cursor forgets them, Claude starts from zero… so I end up re-explaining myself dozens of times a day across these apps. The deeper problem 1. Not portable – context is vendor-locked; nothing travels across tools. 2. Not relational – most memory systems store only the latest fact (“sticky notes”) with no history or provenance. 3. Not yours – your AI memory is sensitive first-party data, yet you have no control over where it lives or how it’s queried. Demo video:…

    Hi all, author here. SX started as a CLI to let developers share skills across AI clients without having to rely on git for storage. This allowed sharing at the Repo/Team/Org and Personal level. However, the more we spoke to users the more we realized that non-technical users were actually using skills more and more but they had no way to share. And there was no way you were going to get your legal team to install and learn git. SX 2.0 is targeting non-technical teams by adding a native Mac, Windows and Linux app. Our vault format was reworked so it can be used directly as a claude…

    I got frustrated with Claude's official platform limitations - conversations disappearing, no customization options, and clunky file handling. So I built my own interface over a weekend! GitHub: https://github.com/chihebnabil/claude-ui What it does: - Saves all conversations locally (SQLite + Drizzle ORM) - Lets you customize Claude's personality per chat - Handles file attachments properly + caching input tokens - Dark/light mode - No conversation limits - Markdown & code syntax highlighting Tech stack is pretty simple: - Nuxt 3 for the frontend - Anthropic's SDK…
