    Hey HN, I'm so happy to finally show you all this release after years of hard work. I posted the first version of EnvKey to HN back in 2017 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15330757), then went through YC in W18 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16569534).

It also helps you avoid duplication in your…

    Hi HN — I’m a heavy OpenClaw user and, like many others, I’ve been thinking about how to give these new “unleashed” agents secure access to my accounts. Agents need API access to be useful. But API keys are long-lived secrets. And agents are not secure environments. So I built something for myself that quickly turned into a product: keychains.dev. The idea is simple: agents never see raw credentials. With Keychains.dev: • Agents make API calls via a drop-in replacement for curl or JavaScript’s fetch() • They use template variable names instead of embedding credentials • The request is…

    Hi HN, I built AxKeyStore, an open-source CLI tool for managing secrets that uses your own private GitHub repository as encrypted storage. The idea is simple: → All encryption happens locally. → Secrets are stored as encrypted blobs in your private repo. → GitHub is treated as untrusted storage. → No plaintext secrets ever leave your machine. → No plaintext secrets are stored on disk. Most secret managers either require a hosted backend, a self-hosted server, or trusting a SaaS provider. I wanted something that: → Requires zero infrastructure → Uses tooling developers already have → Keeps…
