About Keying

Keying is a local-first password manager for macOS. Your vault lives in an encrypted file on your Mac — no cloud, no account, no telemetry. This browser extension talks to the Keying desktop app over a loopback bridge (127.0.0.1) so you can autofill credentials without your passwords ever leaving your device. Why Keying • Zero-knowledge by design. There is no Keying server. We could not see your data if we wanted to — there is no "we." • End-to-end local. AES-256-GCM encryption. Keys derived from your master password with PBKDF2 (600,000 iterations). The encryption key never leaves your Mac. • Touch ID quick unlock. After your first password unlock, biometrics open the vault. The key is stored in the macOS Keychain. • Open source. The full source is at https://github.com/robertocemeri/keying. Audit it yourself. • No vendor lock-in. Export to encrypted backup, Bitwarden JSON, or plain CSV any time. Your data is yours. How it works 1. Install the Keying app for macOS — free at https://github.com/robertocemeri/keying/releases 2. Open the app and create your vault. Save the recovery key it shows you. 3. Install this extension. Click its icon and pair with the desktop app using a 6-digit code. 4. Visit any site. Keying matches the page against your vault and offers autofill, including TOTP codes. What this extension does NOT do • Does not connect to any server we run — there is no backend • Does not sync, back up, or transmit your data anywhere • Does not work without the Keying Mac app running locally • Does not collect analytics or usage data • Does not load remote code Permissions explained • host_permissions <all_urls> — required to detect login forms on any site • host_permissions http://127.0.0.1:17321/* — the local loopback bridge the Keying app exposes • storage — caches the per-browser pairing token • activeTab + scripting — read the form on the page you're on so we can fill it Made for people who want a password manager that doesn't make them the product.
