CLI tool that stores API keys in GNOME Keyring via libsecret and syncs them to OpenClaw config files and the systemd user environment. Supports keys for OpenAI, Gemini, Discord, GIPHY, Google Places, LinkedIn, and Ollama. Restarts the OpenClaw Gateway inside a Distrobox container after updates.
Keeps credentials in the OS keyring rather than plaintext config files, reducing the risk of accidental exposure via dotfiles or version control.
When to Use It
- Storing an OpenAI API key without hardcoding it in config files
- Rotating a Discord bot token across all OpenClaw services at once
- Listing all currently configured API keys from the command line
- Setting up a fresh OpenClaw installation with all required credentials
- Propagating a new Gemini API key to the running gateway without manual restarts
