Stop accidentally leaking secrets to AI

Oaken Ward scans everything you send to AI tools — ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Cursor — and catches sensitive data before it leaves your Mac. 100% local. No cloud.

Security Audit

How It Works

System-wide protection that stays out of your way.

1

Install Oaken Ward

It sits quietly in your macOS menu bar. No complex setup or cloud accounts required.

2

Use AI tools normally

Oaken Ward watches network traffic to known AI endpoints silently in the background.

3

Catch sensitive data

When PII or secrets are detected, you get an alert. You decide: redact, mask, or send anyway.

What It Catches

Our local engine detects hundreds of secret patterns instantly.

  • API keys & tokens (OpenAI, AWS, GitHub, Stripe, etc.)
  • Passwords & connection strings
  • Credit card numbers, SSNs
  • Names, emails, phone numbers
  • Code secrets (.env files, private keys)
  • Custom patterns you define

Why Not a Browser Extension?

Browser extensions only cover ChatGPT in Chrome. Oaken Ward covers EVERYTHING — Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Claude Desktop, terminal tools, native apps, any app that talks to AI. System-wide protection, not just your browser.
