Keyline is the dead-simple secrets manager for small teams. Share your .env files with one command, lock down access per environment, and audit every change — encrypted so completely that not even we can read your keys.
Every small team starts the same way. It works — until it doesn't.
git push from a public leak and a 3am rotation scramble.Keyline speaks .env natively. If your app reads environment variables today, you're already done — just change where they come from.
Point a directory at a workspace and an environment. Keyline remembers it.
$ keyline link acme-api --env prod
One person pushes the .env. Everyone else pulls it. Always current, never in Slack.
$ keyline pull › wrote .env
Cut access the moment someone leaves. Every read and write is logged for good.
$ keyline revoke jordan@
Encryption and decryption happen entirely on your machines. Our servers only ever hold ciphertext.
Install in seconds, no concepts to learn. keyline pull and you're working.
Scope people to dev, staging, or prod. Interns never see live keys; seniors get everything.
Every read, write, and denied attempt is recorded with who, what, and when.
Secrets sync through Keyline, never your repo. Commit your code, not your credentials.
Someone leaves? Pull their access in one command and rotate what they touched.
Vercel, Railway, Fly, your own boxes — if it reads env vars, Keyline feeds it.
When something goes wrong — or an auditor asks — you have a clean, exportable record instead of a frantic scroll through DMs.
We don't charge you more as your team grows. Pick a plan, share your secrets, get back to building.
Your workspace key is recoverable through any active admin's device, and we offer an optional sealed recovery file you store yourself. We genuinely can't reset it for you — that's the whole point — so recovery stays in your hands.
Correct, with one honest caveat: instead of a committed .env, your team runs keyline pull (or wraps startup in keyline run). Your app still just reads environment variables — nothing in your codebase changes.
Those are powerful and can feel heavy for a 3-person team. Keyline is deliberately narrow: .env-native, one flat price, zero-knowledge, and nothing to configure. If you outgrow simple, they're great — we won't pretend otherwise.
Client-side AES-256 encryption, TLS everywhere, scoped access tokens, and a full audit trail. SOC 2 Type II is in progress; our encryption design is documented publicly so you can verify the claims rather than trust them.
Free for solo devs. $19 flat for your whole team. Two minutes to set up.
