What it does

Secure, human-friendly, cross-platform secrets and config. EnvKey helps your team stop sharing API keys and other secrets over Slack and email, and makes it easy to keep the whole team and all your servers in sync automatically. Store config securely in an end-to-end encrypted desktop app, then integrate your apps with a line or two of code.

    Hey HN, I'm so happy to finally show you all this release after years of hard work.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
