Developers often accidentally commit API keys to version control or logs. A lightweight tool could watch for these exposures in real-time and encrypt them locally before they leak.
The tool would integrate with common IDEs and terminals, scanning outputs and files for credential patterns. It would use local encryption to avoid cloud dependencies.
SaaS teams and security-conscious developers would pay for reduced risk of credential leaks that could lead to breaches.
MVP: A CLI tool that hooks into terminal output streams and encrypts matches. Could expand to IDE plugins later.
Risk: False positives disrupting workflows or being too noisy to adopt.
