Trestle

AI agents are making it easier than ever to ship code quickly, but they’re also making it easier to accidentally leak secrets. A forgotten API key, a hardcoded token, or a private credential in the wrong file can be enough to put a startup at serious risk before it has even launched. And with more code being generated, copied, refactored, and committed at high speed, this problem is only getting worse. Trestle helps stop AI agents and rushed commits from leaking secrets by scanning code before it leaves your machine. The idea is simple: catch sensitive values early, locally, and before they become a public incident. It aims to be lightweight and practical, not another noisy security dashboard that founders and small teams ignore until something goes wrong. Trestle is meant to fit into the way people already build: fast, locally, and often with AI in the loop. The goal is to give developers and startup teams a safety net for one of the easiest mistakes to make and one of the most painful mistakes to recover from.
