Envie

A local, encrypted dotenv-vault alternative

dotenv-vault keeps your .env files in sync by pushing them to its cloud behind an account. Envie takes the opposite approach: your .env files stay in an encrypted vault on your own device and never leave it. Organize them by project and environment, import and export .env files, compare environments, and search every key — on Mac and Windows, free, no account.

Same .env workflow, nothing uploaded

Pull an existing .env into any environment, then work the way you already do — search keys as you type, reveal a value only when you choose to, and copy it in one click. Diff dev against prod to catch a missing variable before it breaks, and export a clean .env whenever your tooling needs a file. None of it touches a server.

How is Envie different from dotenv-vault?
dotenv-vault syncs your .env files to its cloud behind an account. Envie keeps them in an encrypted vault on your own device only — no account, nothing uploaded.
Can I import my existing .env files?
Yes — import any .env into an environment, and export any environment back to a clean .env file whenever you need one.
Is my data ever uploaded?
No. Envie is local-first: your .env values never leave your machine, and there's no cloud sync or analytics.
