## Description

You've got 15× the room you're using. Chrome Web Store users actually read descriptions (more than
  App Store), and MV3 reviewers care about clear, specific permission justification. Here's a        
  fleshed-out replacement:                                            

Your AI keys are worth $1000s. Stop pasting them into every new extension.

byoky (Bring Your Own Key) is an open-source browser wallet that stores your LLM API keys and OAuth
  tokens in an encrypted local vault. Developers integrate via @byoky/sdk — their apps use your keys
  without ever seeing them.                                                                            

HOW IT WORKS                                                                                         
<ol><li>Install byoky and set a master password — your vault is encrypted on-device with AES-256-GCM.     </li><li>Paste your API keys or sign in via OAuth (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini).</li><li>Open any byoky-enabled app — approve access in one click. Your keys stay in the vault.            </li></ol>
FEATURES                                                                                             

• 15 AI providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Mistral, Cohere, xAI (Grok), DeepSeek,       
  Perplexity, Groq, Together AI, Fireworks AI, OpenRouter, Azure OpenAI, and custom endpoints.
  • Setup tokens — use your Claude Pro or Max subscription, not only pay-per-use API keys.           
  • Apps marketplace — install curated mini-apps that run sandboxed inside the wallet. Your keys stay
  in the vault.                                                                                      
  • Token Pool — discover free token gifts shared by the community, or publish your own.             
  • Token gifts — share access with friends or teammates without sharing the key itself. Set budgets,
  expirations, revoke in one click.                                                                  
  • Alias Groups — bucket apps by purpose (Personal, Work, Side Project) and pin each group to a
  specific key. Drag apps between groups to swap keys on the fly.                                    
  • Cross-provider routing — drag an app from a Claude group into a GPT group and the wallet
  transparently translates the request body, response body, and SSE streams. Apps keep calling their 
  preferred SDK; byoky picks the upstream.                          
  • Mobile pairing — pair your iPhone or Android wallet via QR code; no extension install required for 
  mobile users.                                                                                      
  • CLI / desktop support — route OpenClaw or any CLI tool through @byoky/bridge. Your keys never leave
   the browser.                                                                                      
  • Backend relay — @byoky/sdk/server lets your server make LLM calls through the user's browser. No
  secrets on the server.                                                                             
  • Full audit log — every request timestamped by app, provider, status.
  • Spending caps — per-app and per-provider token limits, enforced in the proxy.                    
  • Encrypted export/import — back up the vault as a .byoky file.   
  • Local-first — no cloud account, no telemetry, no tracking.                                         

SECURITY                                                                                             

• AES-256-GCM encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation (600,000 iterations) via Web Crypto API.       
  • Master password never leaves your device.
  • Keys never leave the extension — apps only receive short-lived session tokens.                   
  • Fully open source under MIT license. Audit the code: <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/f6dd10371e4d7aa33dd23778f44680fc0459d9a256d077badec03be12fae5bb3/https%3A//github.com/MichaelLod/byoky" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/MichaelLod/byoky</a>
