Byoky is an encrypted wallet for your AI API keys. Store credentials for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and 12 more providers in one place — then let any compatible app use them without ever seeing the key. WHY BYOKY Every AI app asks for your OpenAI key, your Anthropic key, your Gemini key — or charges a monthly subscription on top of what you already pay the model provider. Byoky flips that: bring your own key, use it everywhere. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set a master password — your vault is encrypted on-device with AES-256-GCM. 2. Add your API keys or a Claude Pro setup token. 3. Open any Byoky-enabled app in Safari, or scan a QR code to pair a desktop or web app. Approve access in one tap — keys stay in the wallet. FEATURES • Safari Web Extension — connect apps you visit in Safari with one tap • QR pairing — pair any browser on any device via relay • 15 AI providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, Cohere, xAI, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Groq, Together, Fireworks, OpenRouter, Azure OpenAI, and more • Setup tokens — use your Claude Pro or Max subscription, not only pay-per-use API keys • Apps tab — install curated mini-apps that run inside the wallet, sandboxed • Token Pool — discover free token gifts shared by the community, or publish your own • Token gifts — share access with friends or teammates without sharing the key; set budgets, expirations, and revoke anytime • Alias Groups — bucket apps by purpose (Personal, Work, Side Project) and pin each group to a specific key • Cross-provider routing — drag an app from a Claude group into a GPT group and the wallet transparently translates the request body and streaming response • Full audit log — every request timestamped by app, provider, and status • Spending caps — per-app and per-provider token limits enforced in the proxy • Encrypted export/import — back up the vault as a .byoky file • Local-first — no cloud account, no telemetry, no tracking SECURITY • AES-256-GCM encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation (600,000 iterations) via Web Crypto API • Master password never leaves the device • Keys never leave the wallet — apps only receive short-lived session tokens • Open-source under MIT license — read the code on GitHub FOR DEVELOPERS Integrate in two lines with @byoky/sdk. Use the native Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google SDK — just swap in Byoky's fetch. Streaming, tool use, file uploads, and vision all work. No API keys in your code. No secrets management. No leaked .env files. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.0.20 — 2026-04-22 What's New in 1.0.20 - Cloud Sync: end-to-end encrypted credential backup across your devices, with bidirectional sync and de-duplication on pull. - Gifts: share credentials via link or QR. Recipients can install the app, then the gift is picked up automatically from the clipboard. New "Browse free gifts" entry point. - Vault: login is now validated before a local wallet is created; vault username shown on the unlock screen. - Security: mobile auto-lock extended to 15 minutes; password visibility toggle on unlock and vault auth screens. - Pairing: byoky://pair deep link, fixed QR scanner, and paired state survives peer disconnects so browser refresh rejoins work. - UI: refreshed light stone-gray theme and new logo, new app icon, reorganized navigation with a FAB menu, and expandable usage view. - Fixes: empty-state message on Create Gift, store-fallback now user-initiated, stale sessions cleared on vault offers. ### 1.0.18 — 2026-04-20 What's new in 1.0.18 • Scan a pairing QR code without the black camera — the scanner now opens reliably and shows a clear message if camera access is off. • Paste the full pair link from any web app (https://byoky.com/pair#… or byoky://pair/…) straight into the manual entry field. No more trimming. • Setup Token credentials (Claude Pro / Max) now carry an "Online only" notice, so you know upfront that subscription tokens need the app to be active. • Paired web apps stay connected when you refresh the browser tab — the phone no longer drops the session on a momentary reconnect. • Smoother handoff to the cloud vault: when the phone goes offline, the web side only sees providers your vault can actually serve, so refresh doesn't fake a connection that then fails. • Stability and reliability fixes across pairing and credential sync. ### 1.0.17 — 2026-04-16 v1.0.17 is the biggest update yet — Byoky grows from a key wallet into a full AI token network. NEW • Cross-provider routing — drag an app between provider groups (Claude, GPT, Gemini) and the wallet rewrites the request body and streaming response on the fly. Anthropic SDK → OpenAI upstream, or vice versa. Works for token gifts too. • Token Pool — a public board of free token gifts shared by the community. Browse available gifts, check online status and remaining budget, and redeem into your wallet with one tap. • Mobile gift hosting — your iPhone can now serve token gifts to other users. Previously, only the browser extension could host. • Apps ecosystem — install curated mini-apps from the Apps tab. They run inside the wallet in a sandboxed WebView; your keys stay with you. • Alias Groups — organize connected apps into buckets (Personal, Work, Side Project) and pin each bucket to a specific credential. Drag apps between buckets to swap keys on the fly — no reconnect required. • Setup token compatibility for third-party agent frameworks — use your Claude Pro or Max subscription with OpenClaw and similar tools. The proxy rewrites system prompts and tool names transparently so Anthropic's first-party detection accepts the request. • Remote pairing via byoky://pair deep link — one-tap connect from CLI or cloud apps. • Connect modal auto-routes to the right install path (Safari extension, mobile wallet, or App Store). IMPROVED • New orange-bordered logo and brand refresh across wallet, Safari extension, and web • FAB menu for fast access to add-key, add-app, and gift flows • Inline usage breakdowns — tap a session to expand per-provider spend • Cleaner Apps tab with black-and-white provider icon boxes • Cloud sync polish on iPhone and iPad FIXED • Numerous UI, auto-connect, and icon rendering bugs across the wallet and Safari extension. Under the hood, this release aligns iOS with the v0.7.0 desktop extension — everything in your wallet works identically on iPhone, iPad, Android, Chrome, and Firefox. ### 1.0.12 — 2026-04-09 Bug fixes. ### 1.0.8 — 2026-04-01 Bug fixes ## Apps similar to Byoky | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Python Code Develop](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/python-code-develop/id6742342498) | 5.0 (3) | $1.99 | Developer Tools | | [AiRC](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/airc/id6739931963) | 3.0 (2) | Free | Developer Tools | | [SharkTTY: SSH & Mosh](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sharktty-ssh-and-mosh/id6774512379) | — | Free | Developer Tools | | [AppSpy: App Finder & Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/appspy-app-finder-and-tracker/id6743031957) | 4.4 (14) | Free | Developer Tools | | [Just Toolbox](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/just-toolbox/id6504505981) | 4.3 (4) | Free | Developer Tools | | [QRU? - QR Code Debugger](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/qru-qr-code-debugger/id6741717337) | — | Free | Developer Tools | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
