The deal, in plain sentences.
Effective 26 September 2026
Choosing your region shows the sentences that differ by law. Everything else applies either way.
1. Who we are
Claude Keychain is a free Mac app. Downloading or using it means you accept these terms.
2. Trademarks
Claude Keychain is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic. Claude and Anthropic are trademarks of Anthropic, PBC. Other product, service, and company names referenced on this site, including in the icons Claude Keychain fetches for a secret you add, are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to identify which service a key belongs to.
3. Privacy
The privacy page is the complete statement. In short: Claude Keychain does not read what your Mac is doing.
4. Storing your own secrets
You're responsible for what you store in Claude Keychain. If you paste a key into the app, that key is yours to manage, we don't inspect, validate, or take responsibility for what it is or does. We don't promise that Claude Code or Anthropic's own services won't change in ways that affect how a stored key is used. We also don't promise that a Keychain item is immune to anything else running on your Mac under your own login, the macOS Keychain protects against other users and most other apps, not against something that already has your login session.
5. Acceptable use
Use Claude Keychain for anything lawful. Don't rebrand, resell, or rehost it as your own product. Don't use it to store or use API keys or credentials you don't have the right to use, including stolen or leaked keys.
6. What we promise, and what we do not
Claude Keychain is provided as is, free of charge. We work hard on it, but we do not warrant that it is free of defects or fit for a particular purpose, and to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages arising from its use. To the maximum extent the law of your state allows, this excludes all implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose under the Uniform Commercial Code. Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so this exclusion may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights that vary by state.
7. Changes
If these terms change, the change is posted here with a new effective date.
8. Accounts
Claude Keychain doesn't require an account, and we don't hold any personal information about you from using it.
9. If the business changes hands
If Claude Keychain is transferred to a new owner, this site and the app may transfer with it. What's stored in your own Mac's Keychain does not transfer; it was never ours to transfer. Full detail is in the privacy page.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law rules. If you are a consumer resident in the United States, this does not deprive you of any protection you have under a mandatory provision of the law of the state where you live; the law of England and Wales otherwise applies to everything else in these terms.
11. Disputes on an individual basis
To the maximum extent permitted by the law that applies to you, any dispute with us must be brought on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative action, and claims by or against more than one user may not be combined without our and their consent. This section does not limit any right that cannot lawfully be waived under the law of the country in which you live, including, for consumers in the UK or EU, your right to bring a claim in the small claims court or through any other procedure the law makes available to you. For consumers in the United States, this section does not limit any right to bring a claim in small claims court, or any right that cannot lawfully be waived under the law of your home state. If this section is found unenforceable in a particular case, the rest of these terms still apply.
