In an era of data breaches and over-reliance on third-party password managers, many developers are looking for true control over their secrets. What if you could store all your API keys, database credentials, and sensitive configs in a simple private Git repository, fully encrypted on your own machine, with zero plain text ever touching the cloud?
Meet Ostrakon, a lightweight, powerful, open-source CLI tool that transforms any private GitHub or GitLab repo into your personal encrypted secrets vault.
Why "Ostrakon"?
The name comes from ancient Athens, where ostraka (pottery shards) were used for everyday notes, receipts, and secret ballots. Simple, durable, and private. Modern Ostrakon brings that same spirit to secret management.
