Terminal dashboard

Use fnox tui to browse, filter, and copy secrets in a terminal. Values are masked by default. Changes made in the dashboard are temporary; use fnox set to persist a value.

Features

Secret list

The main view shows all secrets in the current profile with their status:

• Name - The environment variable name
• Provider - Which provider manages the secret
• Value - Masked by default; press V to toggle a truncated preview of the resolved value

Use arrow keys or j/k to navigate through the list, g/G to jump to the top or bottom, and Tab to switch focus between the providers and secrets panes.

Search filtering

Press / to enter search mode. Type to filter secrets by name. The list updates in real time as you type. Press Enter to leave search mode and keep the filter, or Esc to clear the search and return to the full list.

Profile switching

Press P to open the profile picker. Select a different profile to view its secrets. This allows you to quickly compare secrets across environments (dev, staging, production).

Secret details

Press Enter on any secret to view its details:

• Provider name
• Provider key (the secret's value field, if set)
• Description (if set)
• Default value (if set)
• if_missing behavior and source file (if set)
• Resolved value status (shown as a character count, not the value itself)

Press c in the detail view to copy the value, or any other key to close it.

Copy to clipboard

Press c to copy the currently selected secret's value to your clipboard. A confirmation message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen.

Edit secrets

Press e to edit the selected secret's value, or s to add a new secret. This opens an input field where you can modify the value. Press Enter to confirm or Esc to cancel.

WARNING

Edits and new secrets created in the TUI are temporary and stored in memory only. They are not persisted to your config file, and d (delete) is not yet implemented. To permanently change a secret, use fnox set or fnox remove.

Tips

Quickly find a secret

3. Press Enter to leave search mode, then Enter again to view the selected match

Compare environments

1. Press P to open the profile picker
2. Switch between profiles to see how secrets differ
3. Use c to copy values you need

Secure viewing

The TUI masks values in the main list by default and never prints the full value on screen. Press V to reveal truncated previews when you need them, and use c to copy a value to the clipboard without displaying it.

Next steps

• Set a secret: save a value to a configured provider.
• Profiles: choose which environment the dashboard displays.
