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
