SnapEnv

Teams often share environment variables, meaning database passwords and API keys, through chat messages, loose .env files and CI settings, with no record of who accessed what. SnapEnv is a hosted manager that centralises those values for developers, servers, clusters and CI pipelines, with team access controls and an audit log.

What It Does

A command-line tool pulls variables into a local .env file or injects them directly into a running process without writing them to disk. Access is controlled by workspace roles, project roles and per-environment permissions, and an append-only log records every pull, push and change. The site lists integrations with Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Docker, Vercel, Railway, Render, Dokploy and Coolify.

Security Model

Values are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage. Each project has its own key derived from a server-side master key, and decryption happens only on the server. This means the service operator holds the master key, which is a different trust model from tools that encrypt on the client.

Pricing and Open Questions

The site lists a Free plan (3 projects, 3 members), a Pro plan at $9 per month (10 projects, 10 members) and a Team plan at $29 per month (unlimited). It mentions self-hosting but gives no repository or licence, so its open source status could not be verified.

Radar Assessment

SnapEnv is placed in Assess. It targets a real gap between local .env files and heavier secret managers, but the evidence is the vendor's own site and there is no first-person production use. Its server-side decryption and unverified licensing are points to resolve before any trial.
