Waykee Secrets is a tiny vault on your computer that lets AI coding tools use your passwords and API keys — without ever knowing what they actually are.
When you ask an AI coding assistant to deploy your app, connect to a database, or push code — it needs access to your passwords, API keys, and tokens.
Today, most people paste these secrets directly into the conversation or store them in plain text files. That means the AI can see your actual password and could accidentally leak it in logs, send it to the wrong server, or include it in code suggestions.
No complicated setup. No config files to manage. Install it, add your secrets, and forget about it.
Copy one line into your terminal. The installer sets everything up automatically — the vault, the background service, and the connection to your AI tools.
Tell the vault what secrets to protect and where they're allowed to be used. For example: "My GitHub token can only be used with github.com."
Just work as usual. When your AI assistant needs a secret, it uses a placeholder like {GITHUB_TOKEN}. The vault fills in the real value behind the scenes — the AI never sees it.
Your secrets are protected at every step — when they're stored, when they're used, and in the output.
Each secret has a rule about where it can go. Your GitHub token only works with GitHub. If someone (or something) tries to send it anywhere else — blocked.
Even clever tricks are stopped. The vault detects attempts to copy secrets to files, encode them, or pipe them to hidden destinations. All blocked automatically.
If a real secret value accidentally appears in the output, it's automatically replaced with {RedactedSecret}. The AI never learns the actual value.
Watch what happens when an AI agent tries to use your GitHub token — with and without Waykee Secrets.
Here's how developers use Waykee Secrets every day to keep their credentials safe.
Your AI assistant needs SSH keys and deploy tokens to push code to your servers. With Waykee Secrets, it uses placeholders — the real keys stay locked in the vault and are only sent to your server.
AWS keys, Azure credentials, database passwords — all protected. Your AI can run infrastructure commands using scope-locked secrets that only work with the right cloud provider.
Everyone on the team gets the same secrets, synced in real time. When someone rotates a key, every developer's vault updates instantly — no Slack messages, no .env files.
Every time a secret is used, it's logged — which secret, which command, which destination. Perfect for compliance audits and security reviews. Secret values are never logged.
Waykee Secrets integrates seamlessly with the AI coding tools you already use.

Never. The AI only writes a placeholder like {MY_PASSWORD}. The vault replaces it with the real value when the command runs, and hides it again in the output. The AI never learns the actual secret.
Your secrets are cached locally (encrypted) on your machine. The vault keeps working offline. When you're back online, it syncs any changes automatically.
Not at all. One command installs everything. It takes about 30 seconds. There are no config files to edit, no environment variables to set up, no Docker containers to run.
The vault blocks all known exfiltration patterns: file redirections, base64 encoding, piping to network tools, split-destination attacks, and more. Even if the AI is compromised by a prompt injection, the vault enforces rules at the system level — outside the AI's control.
.env files store passwords in plain text on your disk. Any AI tool (or person) with file access can read them. Waykee Secrets encrypts everything, adds destination rules, blocks exfiltration, and redacts output. It's a vault, not a text file.
