fnox is a Rust CLI tool for managing secrets via encryption or cloud secret providers, storing them in a git-committed fnox.toml file. It supports providers like age, AWS KMS/Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, GCP Secret Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden, Infisical, and HashiCorp Vault, with shell integration to auto-load secrets as environment variables.

Use cases

  • store encrypted secrets in git
  • load secrets as environment variables when running commands
  • automatically load secrets when cd-ing into a project directory
  • manage different secrets for dev, staging, and production environments
  • reference secrets stored in 1Password or Vault without committing them
  • cache resolved secrets locally for offline access

When to choose

  • you want secrets encrypted and committed to version control
  • you need a unified CLI across multiple cloud secret providers
  • you want automatic per-directory secret loading in your shell

When to avoid

  • you need a full secrets server or centralized vault UI
  • your team requires dynamic secret generation or rotation policies
