LOCAL-FIRST TOOLS FOR AI-ASSISTED BUILDERS

Pack better context.
Expose less.

Dev Bento builds small developer tools for people who work with AI coding assistants. They prepare only the context an assistant needs, without uploading your code.

01 / PREPARE
A $ secret-bento handoff .
B LOCAL Your code stays with you.
C SAFE
HANDOFF
D sk-proj-REDACTED
PACK CONTEXT, NOT SECRETS.
01

THE PROBLEM

AI is useful.
The handoff is often careless.

01

Sharing the whole repository

Unnecessary source code and configuration enter the conversation.

02

Pasting raw logs

API keys and connection details can easily hide in plain sight.

03

Rewriting context every time

Work stalls while you translate a local problem into something AI can use.

We turn that pre-handoff step into a tool.

✓ Raw values excluded
✓ AI prompt prepared

A Rust CLI that turns local secret-scan findings into redacted Markdown you can safely hand to an AI coding assistant.

OUR PRINCIPLES

Keep tools small.
Keep boundaries clear.

Local first

Your source code and sensitive data stay in your environment.

Narrow tools

One focused tool for one recurring problem, not a sprawling platform.

Readable output

Portable files that make sense to both people and AI assistants.

No silent data

No telemetry by default. Nothing leaves your machine unnoticed.

WHAT'S NEXT

More Bentos are
being prepared.

NOW

Secret Bento

NEXT

IDEA

Git Bento
