Applies to Cowork 0.1.41 · For everyone who uses Cowork

Encrypted Environment Variables ​

Safe Env keeps API keys, tokens and other secrets encrypted on your computer, so the AI can use them later without you pasting them again.

When to use it ​

When a skill or connection needs a key or password and you do not want it written in a file or a chat.

How to use it ​

  • Save: tell the AI "Save this key as MY_SERVICE_KEY" and paste the value. A new key is saved straight away.
  • See: Settings › General › Safe Env lists each key with its description and update time. Values are never shown.
  • Use: when the AI needs a value, you confirm first — on macOS with your password or Touch ID, on Windows in a confirmation window.
  • Change or delete: the AI shows a card with the key name; nothing changes until you approve.
