## 🔑 Ever Pasted a Screenshot and Realized Your API Key Was In It?

Yeah. Everyone’s done this at least once. One key sitting in a screenshot or a copy-pasted config, and it’s out there — even if you delete the post two seconds later, someone already grabbed it.

So I made a tiny tool for that exact moment.

```plaintext
paste your text

      ↓
   it scans it
      ↓
finds the key/password
      ↓
   blacks it out
      ↓
you copy the CLEAN version
      ↓
   post that instead

```

🔎 It knows what OpenAI, GitHub, AWS, Google, Nvidia, and Hugging Face keys look like, plus general stuff like `password=` or `token=` — not just one company’s format.

🔌 Runs right in your browser, nothing gets uploaded anywhere. Sending your secret somewhere else just to check if it’s a secret would kind of defeat the point.

⚠ It’s not psychic — it can miss stuff, so still give the cleaned text a once-over yourself before you post.

🔄 And if a real key already got posted somewhere: don’t just delete the post, that doesn’t undo it. Go make a new key instead — the old one’s already burned.

\*\*\* The newest version v3 is attached to this post.
