Show HN: Commandline tool for protecting data using TouchID+Secure Enclave

Toucli is a tool I made to solve a specific problem on my personal MacBook, where I had to pass in sensitive data like API keys to 3rd party applications on the commandline, but wanted to encrypt those keys on disk and require the physical presence of TouchID to decrypt/access them.

As I state in the readme, for production and office environments a proper external system would be better, but for my single personal machine Toucli solved my problems without needing any external running service.

It was also an excuse to use Swift and Xcode for the first time, which I had wanted to do for some time.
