In plain words
Onboardbase is a secret manager designed for developers who want to keep sensitive data local-first. Launched in April 2023, it provides a way to store and manage secrets like API keys and credentials with an emphasis on keeping information on users' own systems rather than relying solely on cloud storage. The tool is built for development teams that prioritize data control and privacy when handling sensitive application information.
