Builder's Toolkit

One Vault for All Your API Keys.

Once you start shipping with AI, you end up with keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, HeyGen, and a dozen other providers scattered across .env files. IBYOK puts them all in one encrypted vault, with usage alerts and a mock mode so you don't burn credits testing.

Free tier: 250 API calls / month. No credit card required.

Why IBYOK

For the Builders Who Actually Ship.

You can fake a demo with one API key. The moment you go multi-provider, multi-environment, or multi-app, key management becomes the hidden tax on your velocity. IBYOK is the tax deduction.

The Thesis

The workflow scales. The keys have to scale with it.

ChatGPT + HeyGen + Hostinger is how you get started. But once you're running daily automations, multi-app n8n workflows, and a custom agent or two, you're managing API keys for a dozen providers across staging, prod, and local. That's when "which .env has the real OpenAI key?" becomes the biggest blocker on your backlog.

IBYOK is the quiet infrastructure piece for builders who already ship. Not a pillar of the workflow — a tool that pays for itself the first time it stops you from leaking a key to a public repo or burning your monthly budget in an overnight loop.

Stop Managing Keys in .env Files.

Free tier, no card. If you're running more than one LLM provider, IBYOK pays for itself in avoided mistakes.
