Byoky is an encrypted wallet for your AI API keys. Store credentials for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and 12 more providers in one place โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ keys stay in the wallet. FEATURES โข Safari Web Extension โ connect apps you visit in Safari with one tap โข QR pairing โ pair any browser on any device via relay โข 15 AI providers โ Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, Cohere, xAI, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Groq, Together, Fireworks, OpenRouter, Azure OpenAI, and more โข Setup tokens โ use your Claude Pro or Max subscription, not only pay-per-use API keys โข Apps tab โ install curated mini-apps that run inside the wallet, sandboxed โข Token Pool โ discover free token gifts shared by the community, or publish your own โข Token gifts โ share access with friends or teammates without sharing the key; set budgets, expirations, and revoke anytime โข Alias Groups โ bucket apps by purpose (Personal, Work, Side Project) and pin each group to a specific key โข Cross-provider routing โ drag an app from a Claude group into a GPT group and the wallet transparently translates the request body and streaming response โข Full audit log โ every request timestamped by app, provider, and status โข Spending caps โ per-app and per-provider token limits enforced in the proxy โข Encrypted export/import โ back up the vault as a .byoky file โข Local-first โ no cloud account, no telemetry, no tracking SECURITY โข AES-256-GCM encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation (600,000 iterations) via Web Crypto API โข Master password never leaves the device โข Keys never leave the wallet โ apps only receive short-lived session tokens โข Open-source under MIT license โ read the code on GitHub FOR DEVELOPERS Integrate in two lines with @byoky/sdk. Use the native Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google SDK โ 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.
