HOW IT WORKS

A small companion with serious boundaries.

Otter notices the moment a secret appears, then lets you decide what happens next.

01 · CATCH THE MOMENT

The key you only see once

When a site reveals a new API key, or you copy one in a terminal, Otter offers to keep it. Checked on your machine, against formats from OpenAI, Anthropic, Vercel, Cloudflare, Supabase, GitHub and more.

02 · LOCAL VAULT

Encrypted on your device

AES-256-GCM, with the key derived from your passphrase using 600,000 rounds of PBKDF2. No servers, no accounts, no analytics. Copying asks for the passphrase again, and the clipboard clears itself.

03 · CURSOR COMPANION

Close, not in the way

The Mac app lives in your menu bar, and the otter can follow your pointer across the screen. Click-through, so it never gets between you and your work.

04 · PROVEN, NOT PROMISED

Tested in the open

86 tests, seeded fuzzing, cryptographic known-answer checks, and a weekly lab that runs 12 provider consoles end to end. The threat model is public.

OUT NOW

Otter is in the Chrome Web Store.

Install it, create a vault with a passphrase only you know, and the otter will watch for the next key you create. The macOS menu bar app follows soon; leave your email and I will tell you the day it lands.
