Detect and redact sensitive data (API keys, passwords, tokens, database URIs) directly in your editor - before you commit, paste into AI tools, or share your screen.

Powered by the same detection engine as the LeakSnitch browser extension.

Features

  • Real-time detection — Scans files as you type using 55+ regex patterns, entropy analysis, and checksum validation
  • Inline annotations — Secrets highlighted with squiggly underlines (red = high severity, yellow = medium, blue = low)
  • Network interceptor — Redacts secrets in outgoing AI API requests (Copilot, Cline, Codex, etc.)
  • Activity Bar panel — Click the LeakSnitch icon in the left sidebar for controls and status
  • Dashboard sync — Detections sync to your LeakSnitch dashboard alongside browser detections
  • Enterprise policies — Org-level redact mode, custom patterns, and whitelist enforcement

Quick Start

Click the LeakSnitch icon in the activity bar (left sidebar) → Sign In → open any file.

Requirements

Data & Privacy

  • All detection runs locally in your editor — no code is sent to external servers

  • Raw secret values are never transmitted or stored
