Every app needs API keys, and getting them is a chore: find the right page, create the key, copy it before it disappears, paste it into the right file, keep it safe, and start over when you lose it. Footgun is a Chrome extension for Mac that highlights each click on the service's real dashboard, catches the key the moment it appears, saves it in your Mac's Keychain and puts it in your project. 20 services, including OpenAI, Stripe and Supabase.

Could you build this?
Partial The Chrome extension that highlights dashboard steps is buildable, but a reliable version needs a large, continuously maintained library of per-service dashboard walkthroughs that break whenever providers change their UIs.
What it would actually take: Build a Chrome extension (Manifest V3) with a content-script overlay that anchors highlights to DOM elements, plus a backend that stores per-provider step recipes. The hard part is curating and maintaining recipes for hundreds of services, which needs ongoing ops work and possibly computer-vision fallbacks for pages that change often.
