Clip Guard AI

Automatically detect and mask API keys, tokens, and secrets when pasting to AI chatbots

Clip Guard AI protects developers from accidentally leaking credentials to AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. 🛡️ KEY FEATURES • Automatic Secret Detection: Instantly detects over 39 types of sensitive data patterns within your browser. • Real-time Masking: Automatically transforms sensitive credentials into safe placeholders before they reach AI chatbots. • Zero Cloud Processing: 100% local detection architecture ensures no data ever leaves your device. • Developer-Focused: Optimized for software engineers and DevOps workflows to secure code snippets efficiently. 🔑 COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTION Clip Guard AI actively identifies and secures a wide range of developer secrets: • Cloud & API Credentials: Detects keys for major cloud providers and development platforms, including GitHub, GitLab, and NPM tokens. It also recognizes service keys for OpenAI, Stripe, Slack, and Discord. • Private Keys & Certificates: Safeguards cryptographic assets such as RSA, EC, SSH, and PGP keys. • Authentication Data: Masks passwords found in environment variables, CLI commands, and database connection strings for systems like PostgreSQL and MySQL. • Network Details: Protects infrastructure data including IP addresses and internal API endpoints. 🔄 SMART RESTORATION SYSTEM • Secret Restoration: Copy AI responses and original secrets are automatically restored to your clipboard. • Seamless Workflow: Paste masked code → AI processes safely → Copy results with real secrets restored. • Session Management: Restoration maps stored securely in browser session storage with 1-hour expiry. ⚙️ CUSTOM PATTERN SUPPORT • Unlimited Patterns: Add company-specific secret patterns using simple keywords or full regex syntax. • Auto-Detection: System automatically detects whether input is a literal keyword or regex pattern. • Usage Tracking: Each custom pattern tracks how many times it has protected your secrets. • Easy Management: Create, edit, enable/disable, and delete custom patterns from Settings page. ⚡ HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the extension. 2. Visit any supported AI platform. 3. Paste code or text containing secrets. 4. Secrets are automatically masked before reaching the AI. 5. See real-time notifications showing what was protected. 🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY • Local-First: All detection logic runs locally within your browser instance. • No Telemetry: We do not track your usage or collect personal data. • No Data Persistence: We never store or transmit your clipboard content. • Open Source Core: Built on a transparent detection engine. • Minimal Permissions: Only requires storage permission for saving your local settings. 📊 DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE • Lightweight: Minimized extension size for optimal performance. • Fast: Sub-millisecond detection time for typical code snippets. • Non-Intrusive: Works silently in the background without interrupting your workflow. • Customizable: Easily enable or disable specific detection categories. 💡 USE CASES • Asking AI for code reviews without exposing production credentials. • Getting help debugging errors while keeping API keys safe. • Sharing configuration examples without leaking sensitive environment variables. • Collaborating with AI on infrastructure-as-code securely. Built by developers, for developers. Never leak credentials to AI again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Version 1.0.0 ] New Features: • Secret Restoration System - Copy AI responses and original secrets are automatically restored • Custom Pattern Support - Add unlimited company-specific patterns with regex or keywords • Usage Tracking - Track protection count for each custom pattern Improvements: • Enhanced detection accuracy with refined regex patterns • Optimized default category settings to reduce false positives
