Introduction to Kryptic

Updated

Kryptic is a developer secrets platform that injects environment variables at runtime - no .env files in your repo, no secrets in CI config.

A local daemon authenticates once via your browser, then your apps pull secrets over a local socket at startup. Add a kryptic.json to your repo root and one package line - that is the entire integration. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

The Kryptic dashboard

Your team manages projects, environments, access and audit history from the dashboard; developers never leave their editor.
