Building KeyperVault: a secure vault for API keys and project environments

by

Hi all!

I’m currently building KeyperVault, a secure vault designed specifically for developers to store and manage API keys and environment variables.

The idea came from something I kept noticing while working on different projects. Secrets were ending up scattered everywhere, such as .env files across multiple repos, notes apps, Slack messages, and random text files. It works until it doesn’t, and when API keys can control infrastructure or generate large usage bills, it’s not a great situation.

KeyperVault is my attempt to make managing secrets a bit simpler and safer.

With it you can store API keys securely, generate .env files for your projects, sync secrets directly to GitHub Actions, and access everything via CLI using personal API tokens. There’s also a browser extension for quickly accessing keys when you need them.

The bigger goal is to turn Keyper into a place where developers manage their project environments, not just a vault for individual keys.

I enjoy building developer tools and experimenting with ideas that improve developer workflows, especially around infrastructure, automation, and security. KeyperVault is the first step in that direction and I’m excited to keep improving it based on feedback from other developers.

If you’re building projects that rely on a lot of APIs, feel free to check it out:

Always happy to connect with other makers and developers here on Product Hunt 👋

Hey, this is awesome! As a fellow dev building tools, I've definitely dealt with API keys scattered in .env files, Slack, and who knows where else...total nightmare waiting to happen. KeyperVault looks like a smart fix, especially with the GitHub sync and browser extension. Love the vision for full project env management.
