01 / The problem

Your tools need access.
Your prompts don’t need secrets.

AI-assisted development still depends on real API keys, tokens and environment credentials. Copying them between chats, config files and provider dashboards makes it harder to see where they go.

01

Secrets scattered across a stack

Bring credential organization into one macOS workspace, alongside the projects that use it.

02

Too much access, too little context

Scope supported operations to a project and environment, and make approvals visible.

03

Another dashboard, another interruption

Let a local coding tool request a supported provider action through Vaultage’s broker.

Built for

Developers, technical founders and independent builders working on a Mac with AI coding tools, API services and multiple project environments.

02 / How it works

One local workspace.
A deliberate path to access.

  1. 01

    Organize on your Mac

    Connect a provider and associate credentials with a project and its environments.

  2. 02

    Request an operation

    A local tool uses stdio MCP to ask the broker for a supported, typed provider action.

  3. 03

    Approve the scope

    Review the action on your Mac. The broker checks policy and the approval the action requires.

  4. 04

    Keep a receipt

    The broker performs the supported operation and returns a result without the credential value.

Local coding tool Vaultage on your MacSupported provider API

Credentials are used by the broker for provider requests. A separate, explicitly approved runtime-delivery mode can put a secret into a local process; that mode exposes the value to the receiving process.

03 / Product status

Open beta.
Built to improve with you.

Try Vaultage’s native macOS app and help shape what comes next. Beta features will evolve; the limits below describe what to expect.

Included in the beta

  • Vault, projects and environments

    Native workspaces for organizing credentials and their project context.

  • Local MCP credential broker

    Typed operations, policy checks and results that omit credential values.

  • Approval and activity interfaces

    Scope and duration controls, with a history of allowed and denied actions.

Provider support varies by operation. Development tests do not establish that every provider works with a live account.

Beta limits & work ahead

  • ↗

    Apple silicon Macs

    This beta requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later. An Intel Mac build is not included.

  • ↗

    Completed live product journeys

    Account, billing and provider flows need broader live validation. Support varies by provider and operation.

  • ↗

    Remote and cloud workflows

    Remote approvals, multi-device sync and cloud app-builder access remain planned for users.

Open beta is an early release. It does not establish that every provider workflow has been verified with a live account.

Designed for visible decisions

An action leaves
a trace you can review.

Activity and approvals put grants and operation receipts in the same workspace.
