CLI Credential Hub
Securely store and auto-switch logins for multiple CLI tools
- Problem
- Developers constantly switch between CLIs like Vercel, Codex, and GitHub, each with its own login flow, leaving tokens scattered and forcing frequent re-authentication. A post showcases a tool managing 10 CLI logins; another vents about an X account being locked out unexpectedly, highlighting anxiety around credential security and recoverability.
- Solution
- A cross-platform desktop app or CLI that encrypts each tool's tokens in the system keychain, supports one-click switching between accounts or environments, and auto-refreshes expiring tokens.
- Users
- Developers, DevOps engineers, and technical teams juggling multiple cloud and AI CLIs
- MVP
- Support token storage and switching for 5–10 popular CLIs (Vercel, Codex, GitHub, AWS, Fly.io); encrypt with system keychain; provide a CLI and simple GUI; allow export/import config backups; alert on token expiry
- Revenue
- One-time purchase $15–29; team tier per seat annually with shared vault and audit logs
- Why now
- CLI toolchains are fragmenting fast, and demand for both convenience and security is rising; platform vendors have no incentive to build cross-vendor credential management
