What is Envless?
Envless replaces local .env files with an end-to-end encrypted platform for syncing environment variables across your team, environments, and CI/CD pipelines. You manage variables in the dashboard; your apps and CI runners pull them down — decrypted only on your machine.
Three ways to use it
However your app loads configuration, Envless has a path:
Import in your app
import { env } from '@goenvless/envless' — typed, decrypted at boot, no .env files.
Sync to .env files
envless sync — encrypted pull, written to .env.<slug> for Docker, Python, Rails, shell.
Wrap a process
envless run -- npm start — inject into a single process, nothing on disk.Five-minute path
Create an account
Sign up at app.envless.cloud. Every account comes with a default workspace.
Create a project and environments
From the dashboard, create a project and define environments — typically
development, staging, production.Install Envless
Pull variables
Pick the mode that fits your stack — runtime import,
.env sync, or envless run --. The Using Variables section walks through each.What’s next?
