About
Dotenvx is a secrets management CLI tool that encrypts .env files using elliptic curve cryptography, allowing developers and AI agents to securely handle environment secrets. It is a drop-in replacement for the popular dotenv library, adding encryption, scoping, rotation, and audit capabilities. Secrets are committed as ciphertext to Git, with decryption only happening at runtime using a separately stored private key.
Problem
Plain .env files expose secrets to LLMs, logs, and version control, risking leakage into prompts or model context.
For
Developers and teams building with AI agents who need to manage secrets securely
How it works
Developers replace dotenv with dotenvx, run a single encrypt command to convert .env values to ciphertext, and secrets are decrypted only at runtime by the process that needs them using a separately managed private key.
