ENC(...) values are decrypted on reveal, copy or get with
jasypt-spring-boot's default algorithm (3.0+, PBEWITHHMACSHA512ANDAES_256).
- The password is, as in Spring, $JASYPT_ENCRYPTOR_PASSWORD, else the
file's own jasypt.encryptor.password (JASYPT_ENCRYPTOR_PASSWORD in a
.env), with ${VAR} and ${VAR:default} read from the environment.
- Errors say which password was used, or which one is missing.
- Secrets show a detail after their name: jasypt, or reference for a
Spring ${VAR}; also in Go to and Favourites.
- A .env whose values are all Jasypt isn't marked as plain text in git.
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.
- 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. - Careful with values: values stay hidden until you reveal them, and copied values are cleared from the clipboard after 30 seconds.
- Scriptable:
get,listandopenfor scripts, fzf and editor pickers; lazysecrets.nvim for Neovim. - 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. - Sources: Azure Key Vault, Databricks secret scopes, and SOPS,
.envand Spring Boot config files 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://raw.githubusercontent.com/karleinarb/lazysecrets/main/install.sh | sh
Or
curl -fsSL https://git.kebcloud.no/keb/lazysecrets/raw/branch/main/install.sh | sh
Both approaches will install the latest release from GitHub with fallback to
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.
U (or lazysecrets update) updates in place when there's a newer
release.
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 |
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 |
Integration
lazysecrets list, get and open plug lazysecrets into fzf, editor
pickers and scripts: see Integration.

- SOPS, .env and Spring files: which repos and files, decrypting
- Sharing: links to secrets, encrypted env files, and opening links, also from the browser and chat
- Integration: how lazysecrets can integrate into other systems
- Custom commands: run your own commands on a secret

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 (storage.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 updates.autoCheck: 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!
