SoftBestsSlinkyUnderrated
A free, native Mac app that keeps API keys, .env values, and recovery codes encrypted and opens them with Touch ID.
Best for
Developers who keep secrets in notes or .env files and want them local, searchable, and out of plaintext.
Why it deserves attention
Slinky keeps API keys, environment variables, and recovery codes in an encrypted local store, organized by project and unlocked with Touch ID. It flags missing or duplicate keys, supports search across projects, and stays out of cloud sync entirely, so secrets never leave the Mac. The app is free, MIT-licensed, native, and requires macOS 15 on Apple silicon. It is not a team secrets manager: there is no CLI, CI integration, sharing, or audit trail, and the project is young with a small community.
