llm-keys-ui 0.1: Manage Coding-Agent API Keys Without Pasting Them Into Chat

It is a plugin for Simon Willison's llm tool that provides a local web interface for saving model-provider API keys and retrieving them from the command line instead of pasting them into an agent chat.

Environment variables require typing the key into a terminal or config file. llm-keys-ui lets you enter it through a browser on the local network or Tailscale, reducing exposure in session logs or agent conversations.

Yes, especially when running agents like Codex Remote on remote machines controlled from a phone. You can open the UI URL over a LAN or Tailscale IP and enter the key without going through the chat app.

Version 0.1 signals an early stage. It is best tested in limited development environments, and secret-management policies should be reviewed before production use.
