Trestle is a local secret scanner that integrates directly into your editor, CI pipeline, and AI assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot. It detects hardcoded credentials, API keys, private keys, and other secrets using language-aware parsers and entropy checks. With deep git history scanning, pre-commit hooks, and real-time watch mode, Trestle helps ensure secrets never leave your machine. Free and open source for individuals, with a Pro tier for commercial teams needing remediation guidance and priority support.

Cloud-based secret detection with extensive integration but requires account and network telemetry.
Open-source secret scanner with git history scanning; less focus on AI assistant integrations.
Popular open-source static analysis tool for detecting secrets; lacks built-in AI assistant support.
Trestle is a promising local-first secret scanner optimized for AI coding assistants. Strong on privacy, speed, and integrations; weak on accessibility and any real user base. Free tier is genuinely usable for individuals, while Pro targets teams needing remediation guidance.
