Meet Vaultage
A local-first macOS secrets manager and credential broker for developers building with AI coding tools.
Organize secrets by project. Let a coding agent request a supported action. Keep the credential handling on your Mac.

01 / The problem
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.
Bring credential organization into one macOS workspace, alongside the projects that use it.
Scope supported operations to a project and environment, and make approvals visible.
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
Connect a provider and associate credentials with a project and its environments.
A local tool uses stdio MCP to ask the broker for a supported, typed provider action.
Review the action on your Mac. The broker checks policy and the approval the action requires.
The broker performs the supported operation and returns a result without the credential value.
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
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
Native workspaces for organizing credentials and their project context.
Typed operations, policy checks and results that omit credential values.
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
This beta requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later. An Intel Mac build is not included.
Account, billing and provider flows need broader live validation. Support varies by provider and operation.
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
Activity and approvals put grants and operation receipts in the same workspace.
