Show HN: Amped – The missing account switcher for Amp (github.com)

Amped is a small CLI utility that fills a glaring UX gap in Amp (the coding agent) by letting you quickly switch between multiple Amp accounts. It extracts Amp API keys from Amp’s local secrets file (~/.local/share/amp/secrets.json), stores them securely in the system keyring, and updates that secrets.json when you switch accounts. Install via a platform binary or go install github.com/slashtechno/amped@latest. The tool exposes four commands: add <name> (save an account’s API key to the keyring), switch <name> (make a saved key active), status (show active and saved accounts), and delete <name> (remove from keyring); there’s also amped delete --delete-all for removing all saved keys. Note: it doesn’t sign you out of Amp — it only manages API keys. For AI/ML developers who juggle personal, team, and paid Amp accounts, Amped removes the fragile, manual workflow of editing secrets.json or swapping keys by hand. Storing keys in the OS keyring improves security compared with plaintext files, and the automatic rewrite of Amp’s secrets file makes switching seamless for tooling and scripts that rely on the active account. Cross-platform path handling appears consistent on Windows and Linux (~/.local/share/amp/secrets.json); macOS behavior is unconfirmed, so contributors or users should verify path and permissions.
