SSHKeychain~$sshkeychain --about

SSHKeychain

Browse local SSH key metadata and copy public keys quickly, all locally.

Read-only look at ~/.ssh on this Mac. It recognises Ed25519, RSA, ECDSA, and DSA, shows public and private key paths, previews the public key, copies that public key, and can reveal the files in Finder. It does not upload keys, sync them, host them, or export private keys.
