.envKeys
.envKeys is a privacy-first platform designed to help developers securely store and share environment variable files (.env) using zero-knowledge encryption. By generating secure, encrypted share links that expire after a single view or within 24 hours, the tool eliminates the risky practice of sharing sensitive configurations via chat apps, screenshots, or email.
With instant setup and a simple workflow, users can quickly create projects, upload or paste their .env files, and distribute them to teammates using secure, expiring links. .envKeys supports both free and paid plans to accommodate different workloads while ensuring that user secrets remain inaccessible to anyone—including the platform itself—thanks to its robust encryption protocol.
