Show HN: Laptop is the last place your secrets are still in plaintext
This tool addresses a critical security vulnerability in developer environments by moving plaintext secrets from disk into an encrypted, biometric-protected vault while maintaining transparent tool compatibility. For IT organizations, this represents a significant risk mitigation opportunity for insider threats, supply chain attacks, and compromised development machines—reducing the attack surface of secrets exposure from 'always accessible' to 'only when explicitly unlocked.' Organizations should evaluate this technology as part of a broader secrets management strategy, particularly given the increased threat from AI agents and automated tools running with full developer permissions.
