About Keyhole
Hand your AI coding agent a reference to a secret instead of the value. keyhole opens a localhost form, stores the secret, and gives the agent only a retrieve command. ↑ pick a destination, the reference the agent gets updates live, the value never does. It runs keyhole NAME instead of asking you to paste a key into the chat.
About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
