Developer secrets

Where to store API keys when you're a team of one

Store API keys, access tokens, SSH keys, and env vars in one place, tagged by service and environment, with the same generate, reveal, and password-gate controls as the rest of your vault.

Why this exists

Do solo developers need Vault, Doppler, or Infisical?

Every mainstream secrets manager assumes you're onboarding engineers, managing roles, and syncing to a CI pipeline across an organization. If it's just you, that's a lot of infrastructure to stand up for a Stripe key, a GitHub token, and an SSH key for one VPS, and it's exactly why so many solo developers end up with secrets scattered across a .env file, a sticky note app, and their shell history instead.

API Keys gives you one place for all of it: title, which service it belongs to, what kind of secret it is, and which environment (production, staging, development) it applies to, with a generator for creating new tokens and the option to require your account password before a value is shown or copied.

What you get

What can you store in the API key vault?

Six secret types

API key, access token, SSH key, env var, webhook secret, and OAuth secret, each with its own icon so a list stays readable at a glance.

Environment tags

Mark an entry production, staging, or development, so you never accidentally reach for the wrong key.

Generate on the spot

Create a random secret directly in the entry, useful for internal tokens and signing secrets you're minting yourself.

Password-gated values

Require your account password before a secret reveals or copies, on the entries where it actually matters.

Questions

Frequently asked about API Keys

Is this a replacement for a team secrets manager like Vault or Infisical?

No. Those tools exist for organizations with roles, audit logs, and CI integrations. API Keys is for the solo developer or indie hacker who needs one organized place for personal and project secrets without deploying infrastructure to get there.

Can I store an SSH private key here?

Yes, as a multi-line value under the SSH Key category. It stays hidden until revealed, with the same password-gate option as any other secret.

What's the environment field for?

It tags a key as production, staging, or development, so a card grid full of secrets stays sortable by how much damage using the wrong one would do.
