llm-keys-ui 0.1

Simon Willison · Sep 20, 2026 · Product Launches

Simon Willison released llm-keys-ui 0.1, a plugin for securely adding API keys to remote coding-agent machines without pasting them.

“I don't like pasting API keys into agent sessions, so I wanted a way to get those keys onto a machine without pasting them into the ChatGPT app directly.”

Simon Willison released llm-keys-ui 0.1, a small plugin that spins up a local web interface so API keys can be saved to remote machines (via local network or Tailscale IPs) without pasting them into agent chat sessions. It targets a niche workflow of running Codex Remote coding agents from a phone, and is a minor developer-tooling utility rather than a broad AI industry signal.
