Hey folks!
I've been cooking this up for the past few weeks. It's a small CLI to manage secrets that stores them in keychains on macOS.
I wrote this after rejecting OnePassword / Keeper / lastpass as I don't want to rely on a third party and a credit card subscription for what is really just... storing strings?
My needs were simple: a CLI to securely store secrets and inject them in scripts. That's mostly it. Everything else seemed overkill. Now with keychains, I get that, plus a nice UI to manage my secrets afterwards and syncing across my machines.

Hope this is useful for someone else!
Thank you, let me know what you think!
