I built a Chrome extension that auto-masks secrets before pasting into ChatGPT

I often use ChatGPT to help debug code or ask about configs. But I kept having to manually remove API keys, tokens, and connection strings before pasting.

So I built a small Chrome extension as a safety net:

– Auto-detects 39+ secret patterns (API keys, DB URLs, tokens, IPs, etc.)

– Masks them before they reach the chat

– When you copy AI's response, original values are restored automatically

– 100% local processing – nothing leaves your browser

It's not meant to replace good security practices – just an extra layer to catch things you might miss.

Would love any feedback or suggestions!
