SecretPaste

Stop leaking API keys into AI chats — locally

SecretPaste launched on March 10, 2026.

What it does

SecretPaste warns you before a secret leaves your clipboard. Intercepts paste events in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & more. Detection is 100% local — nothing sent anywhere. Free for common patterns, Pro adds masking & more coverage.

SecretPaste is a Chrome extension and desktop app that prevent accidental leaks of API keys into AI chats with local-only detection and instant masking.

SecretPaste protects you in the browser and on desktop — detecting secrets before they reach AI chats, and helping you mask or block API keys instantly. An API key was detected in your message. It has been masked to prevent accidental exposure. A small tool that prevents a big mistake: pasting secrets into AI chats. Secret detection runs in your browser. No servers, no accounts, no data leaving your device. Install and forget. Sensible defaults with quick toggles for allowlist and masking. Stop accidental leaks with instant masking and clear warnings before you hit paste. Fast UI, minimal permissions, and patterns that match the tokens developers paste every day. Never accidentally leak an…from automated.ly

    OP here. I built this because I recently caught myself almost pasting a block of logs containing AWS keys into Claude. The Problem: I need the reasoning capabilities of cloud models (GPT/Claude/Gemini), but I can't trust myself not to accidentally leak PII or secrets. The Solution: A Chrome extension that acts as a local middleware. It intercepts the prompt and runs a local BERT model (via a Python FastAPI backend) to scrub names, emails, and keys before the request leaves the browser. A few notes up front (to set expectations clearly): Everything runs 100% locally. Regex detection…

    I kept pasting code with hardcoded API keys, database credentials, and auth tokens into ChatGPT while debugging. Copy a failing function, paste it into AI, and realise your AWS secret key or Stripe token was right there in the snippet. So I built (with some help from Claude) a simple Chrome extension that intercepts the paste, detects secrets using local regex, and replaces them with [MASKED] before they reach the chat. Originals stay in a local AES-256 encrypted vault for unmasking. No servers. No network requests. No tracking. ~41 KB, zero dependencies. Don't take my word for it: 'grep -r…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
