PX Secrets

What PX Secrets is

PX Secrets is a free, open-source secrets manager that keeps an encrypted vault on the user’s machine. It encrypts the vault with SOPS and AGE; the project says the private AGE key is read directly by SOPS and never handled by PX Secrets. A dark web interface provides search and service grouping, with an optional native desktop window. The CLI lists services and retrieves named secrets for scripts. A local API supports runtime access for scripts and AI agents, and the application can run headlessly as a background service. Documentation covers Docker deployment, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes integration. The project states that it makes no network calls and collects no telemetry, analytics, usage tracking, or crash reports. Clipboard copies clear after 30 seconds, while decrypted data stays in memory and temporary plaintext files are deleted after encryption. It supports self-hosting on Linux and macOS; Windows may work but is untested. The local API is unauthenticated by default, and losing the AGE private key prevents recovery.
