I built Dotward because I got tired of feeling anxious every time I pushed code.
A couple years ago I accidentally committed a .env file to a public repo. API keys, database creds, the whole thing. I caught it fast and rotated everything, but it made me realize how normal that workflow actually is for most developers.
Bots scrape public repos faster than you can click Undo. One accidental commit and your AWS key, GitHub token, or database password is already gone.
Dotward catches it before it leaves your machine — at the terminal, at the commit line, before it ever reaches GitHub.
Local vault, fully offline. No cloud, no account, no telemetry. All in a one time buy, no subscription hassle.
