Byoky: Open-source wallet for AI API keys

Byoky is an open-source wallet application available on Chrome, Firefox, iOS, and Android that encrypts and stores artificial intelligence (AI) application programming interface (API) keys from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini on a user's device. When applications request access to API keys, the wallet handles the request directly with the provider and returns a session token instead of exposing the key itself. This approach keeps the original API key isolated within the wallet rather than shared with third-party applications.

Why it matters: Developers and organizations using multiple AI API providers should evaluate whether this key management approach reduces exposure from compromised applications or overprivileged API key access.
