dotenv-vault is a CLI and cloud service for syncing .env files across machines, environments, and team members, with encrypted .env.vault deploys. As of May 2025 it is a paid-only cloud service; the author recommends dotenvx as a free, cloud-less alternative.

Use cases

  • sync .env files between machines and teammates
  • manage secrets across development, staging, and production environments
  • deploy encrypted environment variables to heroku or vercel
  • share environment variables with a team securely
  • back up env files to a cloud vault

When to choose

  • your team already pays for dotenv-vault and relies on its cloud sync
  • you want encrypted .env.vault deploys with just-in-time secret injection
  • you need a dashboard and audit log for environment variables

When to avoid

  • you want a free, self-hosted, or cloud-less solution - use dotenvx instead
  • you cannot send secrets to a third-party cloud service
  • you need an open-source secrets manager like hashicorp vault or sops
