Got asked if Claude Code could still open the .env after KeyDeck writes it.
Honest answer was yes.
So I fixed it. KeyDeck now locks the file as it writes it. Claude Code tried 4 ways to read it. Blocked every time.
Keys in your project. Never in the chat.
@Ahmadbukhari update: fixed it. KeyDeck now locks the .env when it writes it. tested with claude code, it tried 4 ways to open it and got blocked every time ๐
I wasn't going to add MCP to KeyDeck.
Someone asked for it on my last post, and my first thought was: what's the downside? Letting an AI near your API keys felt wrong. Anything you paste into an AI chat goes to the AI company. That's exactly what KeyDeck exists to stop.
Then I found a way to do it without that risk.
How it works:
โข KeyDeck runs a small connection on your Mac, only while it's open. Nothing on the internet can reach it.
โข You connect Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code in one click (or one line for Claude Code).
โข Your AI can see your project names and which keys exist, like "Stripe, Supabase, Claude". Never the keys themselves.
โข When it needs your .env, a popup asks you first. You approve with Touch ID, and KeyDeck writes the file into your project.
โข The AI only hears "done, 5 keys written."
โข It can't add, change or delete anything in KeyDeck.
โข Each AI tool gets its own connection key, so you can cut one off without touching the others.
So it's in.
KeyDeck: every API key in one locked place, now with an AI that can set up your project without ever seeing your keys.

@Ahmadbukhari honestly yeah, it can, it's just a normal file. but when KeyDeck writes it, it tells Claude not to open, print or copy it, and your keys never go through the chat
There's a special feeling when an app emails you: "You asked for this. We built it."
You feel heard.
@michael_ofosu_ and I are building ShipFlow to give every user that feeling.
Open source. Almost ready.
Before we launch, what should we build for you? We're listening ๐ค
@DD_Nanall Can't wait for everyone to get their hands on this! Building ShipFlow has been an absolute ride. Drop your feature requests below we're all ears!
Every developer has API keys scattered across Slack DMs, Notes, screenshots and old .env files.
So I'm building KeyDeck: one place for all your keys and passwords, sorted by project.
No servers. No account. Just your Keychain and your iCloud.
iPhone + Mac. Coming soon.
