KeyRotate is now available for Mac, Windows and Linux, with companion apps for iPhone and Android

Enfour's API key manager now runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. Free companion apps for iPhone, Apple Watch and Android show its leak alarms and let people ask their computer to rotate a key from anywhere. The phone never holds a key's value.

Enfour, Inc. today released KeyRotate for Mac, Windows and Linux, together with companion apps for iPhone, Apple Watch and Android. KeyRotate keeps developers' API keys encrypted, replaces them through the vendor's API where the vendor allows it, updates every file that uses them, and watches for signs that a key has leaked. A leaked or refused key is urgent, and its owner is often away from their desk. The companion apps show what KeyRotate found, wherever its owner is, and let them ask their computer to act.

On the computer

On the phone and the watch

The phone never holds a key's value; it sees only key names, states and alarms. Everything between the phone and the computer is end-to-end encrypted with keys only the two devices hold, and signed by the device that sent it. Enfour's relay passes the ciphertext along and cannot read it. A request expires after 15 minutes, cannot be replayed, and is acted on only if the computer can verify it. To pair, open Guard in KeyRotate, show the pairing code and scan it with the phone. There is no account to create.

Availability

The phone apps make no purchases; rotation runs on the computer, under its KeyRotate subscription. If a subscription lapses, every key stays visible and copyable; only rotation, file updates and switching pause.
