Security

The application uses operating system’s credential storage systems - Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, and Secret Service on Linux. This means sensitive data like passwords, API keys, and tokens are stored using the OS’s built-in encryption and access controls rather than in plain text files.

Key security benefits:

• OS-level encryption: Credentials are encrypted using system-level cryptography
• User authentication: Access typically requires the user’s login password or biometric authentication
• Process isolation: Other applications can’t easily access your stored credentials
• Automatic key management: The OS handles encryption keys, reducing implementation complexity

Security considerations: Credentials are tied to the current user account - they’re not accessible to other users. Be aware that users with administrative privileges or malware with elevated access could potentially access stored credentials.
