Vault
Encrypted local storage for API keys and secrets. Keys are AES-256-GCM encrypted, never sent to Sivants servers, and available across all your projects.
What it is
The Vault is project-agnostic — keys added once are available everywhere in Orbit. Each key has a name (what Orbit calls it internally) and a value (the actual secret). Keys are encrypted on write and never leave your machine. BYOK keys bypass the Sivants Credits system entirely for that provider — Orbit calls the provider directly using your key.
When you would use it
You set up the Vault during initial Orbit configuration, then add keys as needed for new services.
Common operations
- Adding API keys for providers (Anthropic, Google, fal.ai, etc.)
- Storing service tokens (Vercel, Railway, Stripe)
- Reviewing what's stored
