Stop storing API keys in plaintext. API Key Vault 2.0 encrypts and organizes all your credentials behind a single master password — offline, portable, and yours forever. No subscriptions. No cloud. No risk.
Developers and teams juggle dozens of API keys, tokens, and secrets across multiple services — from cloud providers like AWS to AI platforms like OpenAI, trading APIs like Alpaca, and payment processors like Stripe.
These credentials are often stored in plaintext files, sticky notes, or scattered across password managers not designed for developer workflows.
API Key Vault 2.0 is a lightweight, portable desktop application purpose-built for managing API credentials. Single executable — no installation, no cloud, no account creation.
Built with AES-256-GCM encryption and PBKDF2 key derivation, your secrets are protected by the same cryptographic standards used by financial institutions and government agencies.
Military-grade authenticated encryption for all stored credentials. Each entry encrypted with a unique IV. GCM mode provides both confidentiality and authenticity.
Security310,000 iterations of SHA-256 transforms your master password into an encryption key, making brute-force attacks computationally infeasible.
SecurityGroup related credentials together — API Key, Secret Key, Region, Endpoint — in a single organized card with individual copy buttons.
ProductivityCopy any field to clipboard instantly. Clipboard auto-clears after 30 seconds to prevent accidental exposure of sensitive credentials.
UXVault automatically locks after 5 minutes of inactivity. Re-authentication required. Ctrl+L for instant manual lock.
SecurityOptional encrypted hint helps you remember your master password without compromising security. Stored with obfuscation encryption.
UXTag keys by category — Finance, AI/ML, Cloud, Payments, Dev Tools — with instant search (Ctrl+K) and filter support.
ProductivityBackup and restore your encrypted vault. Transfer securely between machines. Your vault is a single encrypted binary file.
ProductivitySingle ~74MB executable. No installation, no admin rights, no runtime dependencies. Runs from any folder or USB drive.
PortableThe master password never leaves the application, is never stored on disk, and is never transmitted anywhere. All cryptographic operations happen in-process using native crypto APIs.
PBKDF2 with 310,000 iterations of SHA-256 derives a 256-bit key from your master password plus a random 32-byte salt.
AES-256-GCM encrypts the entire vault using a random 16-byte IV. GCM provides both confidentiality and authenticity.
Salt + IV + Auth Tag + Ciphertext stored as a single binary blob. No metadata readable without the correct password.
Auto-lock after 5 min idle, clipboard auto-clear after 30 sec, password hint stored with obfuscation encryption.
No accounts, no cloud signup, no configuration. Buy, download, and start securing your keys.
Purchase on LemonSqueezy and download the portable EXE (~74MB). No installer — just extract and run. Works from any folder, USB drive, or desktop. No admin rights required.
Choose a strong master password. This derives the AES-256-GCM encryption key via PBKDF2 with 310,000 iterations — zero-knowledge means we never see or store your password.
Add services with multiple credential fields (API key + secret + region + endpoint). Categorize by Finance, AI/ML, Cloud, Payments, or Dev Tools. Add notes for context.
One-click copy puts any value on your clipboard, which auto-clears after 30 seconds. Vault auto-locks after 5 minutes. Keyboard shortcuts for lightning-fast workflows.
From solo devs to fintech teams — if you manage API credentials, Vault 2.0 is built for you.
Manage exchange API keys and secrets for Alpaca, Coinbase, Interactive Brokers, Polygon.io, and payment processors. Keep trading credentials encrypted and organized.
Keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, Replicate — organized and encrypted. Switch between project keys without exposing credentials in env files.
Cloud provider credentials (AWS, GCP, Azure) across environments. Multi-field entries store access key + secret + region + endpoint together.
A lightweight secrets solution without enterprise overhead like HashiCorp Vault. Managing keys for client projects across platforms? Vault 2.0 keeps it organized.
SaaS alternatives cost $48–216/year per user. API Key Vault 2.0 costs $9.99 once.
| Product | Pricing | Type | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1Password | $4–8/user/mo | SaaS | General password manager, not API-focused |
| Doppler | $8–18/user/mo | SaaS | Team secrets manager, requires cloud |
| HashiCorp Vault | $1.58/hr+ | Enterprise | Complex setup, server-based |
| Bitwarden | $0–6/user/mo | SaaS | General passwords, limited dev features |
| Infisical | $6–12/user/mo | SaaS | Open source alt, still cloud-dependent |
| API Key Vault 2.0 | Free / $9.99 one-time | Desktop | Free tier + paid. Offline, portable, zero-knowledge, no subscription |
Start with the free version — no account, no credit card. Upgrade when you need the full vault.
"I manage 40+ trading API keys across Alpaca, Coinbase, and Polygon. Finally a vault that doesn't phone home. Multi-field entries are exactly what I needed — key, secret, and endpoint in one card."
"$9.99 one-time vs $96/year for 1Password? Easy choice. I keep it on a USB drive and it works anywhere. No install, no admin rights. The 30-second clipboard clear is a nice security touch."
"We bought the Team Pack for our 6-person startup. Way simpler than HashiCorp Vault, and it does exactly what we need — organize and encrypt API keys without enterprise overhead."
One password. All your API keys. Military-grade encryption. Pay once, own forever.
