Envie
Open source .env file replacement and secrets manager
Release 0.1.0 involves a major upgrades to access tokens that make using Envie in CICD pipelines and Dockerfiles easier.
Access tokens no longer require a keypair to be set on the host machine. Instead, each access token itself contains an encoded Ed25519 keypair.
To create an access token run:
envie access-token create <access-token-name>
To use the access token, set the value of ENVIE_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable to the value of your token.
You can now use CLI commands without having to log in. Instead the access token is used for authentication.
NOTE: you must explicitly grant access to environments for your access tokens:
envie environment set-access <environment-path> <access-token-name>
Your access token inherits the same organization access as your user account.
With your access token, you can now easily invoke Envie from Dockerfiles or CICD.
I built a tool called Envie because I was tired of the chaos around environment variables, API keys, and other secrets.
If you’ve ever:
Juggled multiple
.envfiles (.env.local,.env.prod,.env.debug… and forgotten which one is actually being used)Wasted time digging through Slack threads or web dashboards just to find the right API key to debug a production issue
Accidentally committed (or had your AI commit) a secret or left sensitive files lying around on your machine
…then you know the pain that led me to start this project.
What is Envie?
Envie is an open-source, self-hostable CLI + service for managing secrets and environment variables.
Cleaner workflow → No more dumping
.envfiles on disk.Team-friendly → Stop passing credentials around in chat. Use Envie with fine grained access control.
Safer by default → Less chance of secrets leaking (especially with AI tools scanning local files).
Built for real-world dev setups → Works well with monorepos, Turborepos, and projects with lots of apps/packages.
General secrets manager for production use: Self hostable and open source
Think of it as a more modern, developer-friendly alternative to dotenv and scattered .env files.
