What is Selective Share?
Selective Share is a secret management tool designed for time-constrained teams who prioritize data security without complexity. It offers client-side encryption using GnuPG, ensuring that private keys never leave the user's computer and secrets remain unreadable even to the tool provider. The platform facilitates easy secret distribution to discourage insecure sharing practices like email or chat, while role-based access control restricts users to authorized secrets only.
With comprehensive logging and auditing capabilities, Selective Share helps identify erroneous or malicious changes quickly. Versioned secrets enable zero-downtime key rotation and provide a safety net for mistakes. The tool supports unlimited application environments without vendor lock-in, allowing secrets to be exported in standard formats for migration. It is free until launch and requires no credit card for sign-up.
