Why psst?

Secure by default. No cloud, no daemon, no drama.

🔐

AES-256-GCM Encryption

Every secure entry is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Keys are derived with Argon2id and a unique per-entry salt — a compromised database reveals nothing without your master password.

🛡️

Zero Shell History Leakage

psst never accepts secret values as CLI flags. Secure entries are entered through a hidden prompt or read directly from the clipboard — your terminal history stays clean.

📋

Clipboard Injection

psst get writes directly to the system clipboard without printing to stdout. Set clipboard_clear_after to auto-wipe the clipboard after a configurable number of seconds.

⏱️

Password Sessions

Avoid re-typing your master password on every command. Set a session_timeout and psst caches the password locally for that window — stored at chmod 600, deleted on expiry.

🔍

Fuzzy Key Search

psst list github filters entries by substring. Make a typo with psst get? psst suggests the closest matching keys using Levenshtein distance — no more copy-paste of exact names.

🏠

Local-Only

No cloud, no network calls, no telemetry. Everything lives in ~/.persist/data.db on your machine. Works fully offline and responds instantly.
