Locki is a lightweight browser extension that makes it simple to protect your sensitive data. It automatically encrypts text before sending it and decrypts it when received, keeping your communication private and secure.
I’m excited to share Locki, a browser extension I created to make text encryption simple and practical. The idea came from the need to share sensitive information (like API keys or passwords) in tools like email, documents, chats, etc., without risking data leaks.
With Locki, you can: - Encrypt/decrypt text directly where you type - Keep encrypted fragments visible but unreadable until unlocked - Manage keys securely and even share them with your team
It is available in Chrome and Chrome-based browsers, Firefox, and Safari.
This is just the beginning. I’d love to hear your feedback and ideas on how Locki could be even more useful.
Congrats on the launch, Tim. You might also want to list it on bestofweb .site where we feature new tools weekly.
a supreme nit pick but on your pricing page "stay up to date" is hard to see.
This is a very cool idea. If i share a field with someone who doesn't have the extension, i understand the steps they would have to take to be:
1. install the extension 2. get a key from me, or maybe i add their public key to the permission for this secret 3. now they can view.
is that the case? also is there an escape hatch if we share a secret that is in slack or something? (doh, i guess i can just open a google doc, paste it, and then use my chrome extension)
Locki sounds like a fantastic tool for ensuring our sensitive information stays safe and secure. The ability to encrypt text right where you're typing is such a convenient feature! Excited to try it out and see how it simplifies secure communication. Well done on this helpful creation! 🙌
I can see it perfect for team communication. I often exchange sensitive info and this lightweight extension would keep everything private without forcing people to learn complicated software. That's practical and effective.
What I like most is that it works silently in the background. No extra clicks or complex setups. Just type normally and it protects everything. This really makes encryption approachable for everyone.
This is simple and extremely useful. Upvoted. So, if I want to share my encrypted text to any member I must share my public key with them? Does it offer key versioning and management too, like if I want to share different keys to different members.
