What it is

KeepAI is a local, open-source API hub for AI agents. It's a desktop app plus a CLI (npx keepai) that sits between your agents and your apps, so agents connect to Gmail, Notion, GitHub, Trello, or Airtable through a layer you control.

The problem

To do useful work, an AI agent needs access to your accounts. Most setups hand the agent a long-lived API key or a broadly-scoped OAuth token — and from that point you have little say over what it actually does.

How it works

KeepAI enforces three things on every request: fine-grained permissions that scope exactly what each agent can do, human approvals for sensitive or irreversible actions, and a complete audit log of every request. The agent gets capabilities, not credentials. Your keys never leave your device — everything runs locally with end-to-end encryption.
