Without roots in the config, repos are found under whichever of ~/git, ~/repo, ~/repos, ~/projects, ~/code, ~/source and ~/src exist. Missing ones cost a stat each. A root that's a symlink to another is scanned once, and a repo under two roots keeps the first one's name. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
lazysecrets
A terminal UI for finding, reading and sharing secrets. Inspired by the fantastic lazygit.
Main features
- Read-only: lazysecrets never creates, changes or deletes a secret. That's by design and may stay that way.
- Zero setup: uses the logins you already have (
az, the Databricks CLI,sops,git). No config file needed. - Search everything:
ctrl+ssearches every source at once, with fzf-style matching. - Share links: Share
lazysecrets://links with colleagues. A colleague opens it with their own access, from the terminal or with a click in the browser or chat..envfiles can be shared too, as a link encrypted with a secret your team can read. - Neovim integration: via lazysecrets.nvim
- Careful with values: values stay hidden until you reveal them, and copied values are cleared from the clipboard after 30 seconds.
- Scriptable:
lazysecrets get <link>prints a value for scripts and pipes. - Favourites: star the secrets you use most for easy access.
- Expiry warnings: secrets, keys and certificates that expire soon are marked, listed together in the status pane.
- Your way: rebind any key, pick a theme, and add custom commands to run on a secret.
- Try it first:
lazysecrets --demoruns on built-in sample data. - Supported platforms: Azure Key Vault, Databricks secret scopes, and SOPS and
.envfiles in your git repos.
Early development: expect rough edges. See CHANGELOG.md for what's new.
Install
On macOS or Linux (arm64 or x86_64):
curl -fsSL https://git.kebcloud.no/keb/lazysecrets/raw/branch/main/install.sh | sh
It installs the latest release, from GitHub or else
git.kebcloud.no, into
~/.local/bin after checking it against the release's checksums.
sh -s -- v0.2.0 installs a given version, LAZYSECRETS_INSTALL_DIR
somewhere else.
lazysecrets looks for a newer release once a day: the footer then shows
↑ v0.2.0, and U shows its changelog and updates in place (or run
lazysecrets update).
Or build it yourself:
go install git.kebcloud.no/keb/lazysecrets/cmd/lazysecrets@latest.
Get started
az login # login with azure cli
lazysecrets # start lazysecrets
lazysecrets --demo # test with demo data
Pick a source on the left, then a vault, then a secret. With nothing signed in yet, the right pane says how to get started. The keys you'll use most:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
j/k, enter, esc |
move, drill in, back |
l / h |
the details of what's selected / back |
/ |
filter the list you're in |
space |
reveal / hide the value |
y |
copy the value (cleared from the clipboard after 30s) |
ctrl+s |
Go to: search everything and jump there |
f / F |
star / your favourites |
s |
copy a link to share |
? |
every key, searchable |
q |
quit |

- Azure Key Vault: accounts, permissions, pinned vaults
- Databricks: profiles and Key Vault-backed scopes
- SOPS and .env files: which repos and files, decrypting
- Links: sharing, opening,
lazysecrets getin scripts, and opening links from the browser and chat - Custom commands: run your own commands on a secret
- Config: every option, themes, layered configs, the state file
- Development: building, tests, pull requests and releasing
Privacy
lazysecrets never stores, caches or sends your secret values. It keeps the
names and metadata of what you've loaded in a cache file readable only by
you, to show it at once next time (cache: false turns it off). It talks
only to the services you use it with, and collects no usage data. The one
call of its own is a daily check for a new release, on GitHub or else
git.kebcloud.no, which updateCheck: false turns off.
Repositories
The main repo of this codebase is at git.kebcloud.no. The GitHub mirror is for discoverability, issue-tracking and releases. It also makes it possible to give a ⭐ if you like lazysecrets!
Contributing
I don't take pull requests as I don't have time to review and test them. But bug reports and ideas are very welcome! Open an issue on GitHub and I'll have a look.
