Code Securely With AI

Zlauder masks credentials and sensitive information before your prompt leaves your machine— and unmasks the AI's response locally. You work exactly as before. The AI never sees your secrets.

Vibe coding is fast.
Leaked secrets are the tax.

Tools like Claude Code and Replit let you build at unprecedented speed — but every prompt you send can carry API keys, passwords, connection strings, and customer data to a third party, with no assurance against future unintended use or breaches.

Properly cordoning off sensitive information slows you down. So most people don't. Zlauder eliminates the trade-off: full speed, zero exposure.

API & SSH keys
pasted into prompts to debug deploys and integrations
Passwords & connection strings
shared so the AI can wire up your database
Customer data & PII
embedded in logs, fixtures, and error messages

How it works

Not zero data retention — zero data access. The AI never had your secrets to begin with.

01
Detect
Zlauder scans every outbound prompt for credentials and sensitive information using prebuilt rules — API keys, SSH keys, passwords, and more.
02
Mask locally
Secrets are swapped for opaque tokens before the prompt leaves your machine. The lookup table never leaves your computer — it's only accessible by you.
03
Unmask the response
If the AI's response contains a masked token, Zlauder swaps the original back in before you see it. You interact with your tool exactly as before.
your machine: secret ⇄ token  │  the wire & the AI: token only

Antivirus keeps harmful programs out.
Zlauder keeps your data in.

Like antivirus, Zlauder is a local security layer that sits between your important information and the programs you use — without compromising how they work.

Basic is free. Forever.
