6. Safe to share code

A key's name grants no access on its own. Paste code into an AI chat or push it to GitHub without leaking the key.A key's name grants no access by itself, so you can paste code into an AI chat or push it to GitHub without leaking the key.A key's name can't unlock anything on its own. Share code in an AI chat or on GitHub without exposing the key.

7. Find leaked keys

Scan a project folder, and every past git commit if you like, for API keys left in code, config or .env files. It runs on your computer and shows only the last 4 characters of anything it finds.

8. Import your .env

Move the keys from a .env file into your encrypted vault in one step, with a preview first. The .env file itself is never changed, and each key keeps its name so resolve("OPENAI_API_KEY") finds it.

FAQ

Where are my keys stored?

In an encrypted file on your own Mac or Windows PC (Fernet encryption, key derived from your master password with PBKDF2-SHA256, 600,000 iterations). We never see your keys or your master password, so a lost master password can't be recovered.

Does it run on Windows or Linux?

Yes on Windows: KeyScout runs on Windows 10 and 11 as well as Mac, with the same features and plans. Linux isn't supported yet.

Will my computer warn me when I install it?

On Mac, no: the installer is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens normally. On Windows, you may see a security prompt the first time because the early-access installer isn't code-signed yet. Choose Run (or More info, then Run anyway).

What is the Founder Pass?

A one-time $99 payment for 5 years of Plus, limited to the first 200 buyers. It's for one person on up to 2 computers and can't be transferred. Like every plan, your first purchase has a 7-day refund. After 5 years it switches to Free; your vault stays readable.

Can I use one license on both a Mac and a PC?

Yes. A paid license works on up to 2 computers, in any mix of Mac and Windows.

Are the prices shown for each API exact?

No. Price levels are read from each provider's pricing page and can go out of date. Always check current pricing on the provider's site.

Do you earn money from sign-up links?

Some sign-up buttons are partner links. KeyScout may earn a commission if you sign up through them, at no cost to you. Partner links never change which services we show or how we rank them.
