Every developer has done it. You paste an AWS key into a Jira ticket, a GitHub issue, or a Notion doc — and five seconds later you realize what you just did. By then, someone's already scanning public repositories, tickets, and Slack exports for exactly that pattern. I built SecureLint to make that mistake impossible. What is SecureLint? It runs 100% locally in your browser. Nothing you type is ever sent to any server (for Free and Pro users). Zero telemetry. Zero page content collection.
