Use Quick Secrets

Quick Secrets is a local encrypted vault for short pieces of text you may need to paste into a terminal. It may be locked or hidden depending on feature access in your build.

What it is for

Use Quick Secrets for small snippets you type often but do not want in a normal preset, such as a temporary token, passphrase, or private command fragment.

It is not a full password manager. Keep using your normal password manager for long-term account storage.

Normal preset buttons are meant for non-sensitive commands. If a command includes a password, token, or private fragment, keep that text in Quick Secrets instead of the preset bar.

Create the vault

When Quick Secrets is enabled:

1. Open the vault panel.
2. Choose an unlock code.
3. Confirm the unlock code.
4. Add a labeled secret.

Use a real passphrase instead of a short PIN when the text is sensitive.

Paste a secret

After unlocking the vault, choose:

• Paste Only to type the secret into the active terminal
• Paste + Enter to type the secret and submit it

Check the active tab before pasting. ButtonsCLI sends the secret to the focused terminal.

Auto-lock

The auto-lock setting controls how long the vault stays unlocked.

Use Settings under Advanced to change the timeout. Set it to 0 only when you want manual locking.

Local storage

Quick Secrets stores encrypted data locally. Turning the feature off hides the panel and locks the vault if it is open.
