You may like pass[1].  It's a bash script which uses gpg, so
it's somewhat familiar to what you've written in a sense.

It supports random data via the --multiline (-m) option.

It's locally hosted (though you can use online syncing tools
if you want).  There are a a good number of alternative
clients for it as well, to suit various use cases or
environments.
