yanker

Overview

yanker is a small terminal helper for the values you copy all day — tokens, IDs, connection strings, snippets. It opens straight into a Bubble Tea TUI for browsing, filtering, previewing, and copying entries, and it also exposes quick CLI commands for add/get/pick flows when you don’t want the full interface.

Features

• Single-binary, single-file app structure
• JSON-backed storage with atomic saves and restrictive file permissions
• In-memory fuzzy filtering across key and description
• Secret-aware previews that never render full secret values in the TUI
• Clipboard copy from both the TUI and the CLI
• In-app add, edit, and delete flows

Why I built it

I kept juggling secrets and named values across shells and password managers for things that weren’t quite secrets but weren’t throwaway either. yanker is the small, keyboard-driven middle ground — fast to open, safe about what it shows, and scriptable when I already know the key I want.
