Developers need a secure way to sync encrypted secrets from their Git repos to devices without storing them in third-party vaults. This browser-local WASM app keeps all data encrypted locally while treating your Git repo as the secret source of truth.

Why this is interesting

The push toward self-hosted and local-first tooling is real — developer distrust of third-party secret vaults spiked after high-profile breaches at LastPass and the CircleCI secrets incident, and that distrust hasn't faded. HashiCorp Vault and Doppler are the dominant substitutes, but both require external infrastructure, which is exactly the friction this sidesteps. The $500–3k/mo ceiling makes sense given the narrow ICP — solo developers and small teams who are security-conscious enough to care but too small to run Vault themselves — though that same narrowness caps upside hard. The biggest risk is that the target user is technically sophisticated enough to just write a shell script using git-crypt or age encryption and never pay for a polished version of the same thing.
