Add a New Secret
Unlock the vault with your master password, then click Store key in the top-right corner of the vault panel.
Fields
The creation form (the SecretForm component) collects the following:
- Name — the env variable name for this key (e.g.
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY). This is the key used inKEY=valueformat. - Value — the secret content. Masked by default.
- App tag — which application this key belongs to (e.g.
billing-service). Displayed in the “App and environment” column. - Environment tag — which environment this key targets (e.g.
production). Displayed below the app name. - Additional tags — arbitrary tags for organization. Shown as badges on the key row.
- Setup context / runbook — free-text notes. Use this to record rotation steps, where to get a new value, service restart instructions, or links to relevant docs.
- Sync scope — choose approved devices to share with your team, or local only to keep it on this machine.

- Key context — app, environment, creation and update timestamps, and the device that created it.
- Setup context / runbook — attached notes.
- Audit trail — the last 10 actions (created, read, updated, copied, deleted) with timestamps and device names.
Copying Secrets
- Copy value — copies just the secret value to the clipboard.
- Copy env line — copies the full
NAME=valuestring to the clipboard.
You can search secrets by key name, app, environment, or tag using the search bar at the top of the vault panel.
