Lightly browned and well buttered. A solid pick from the rack.
Summary
Keycard is a local-first secret management tool for developers and AI teams that stores API keys and secrets in a local SQLite database on macOS. It enables users to organize secrets by environment, inject them directly into subprocesses, and switch between environments with a single flag. The tool emphasizes privacy and security by operating entirely offline with no cloud storage, network requests, or accounts required.
