Why Envval exists.

Envval started as a personal frustration. After years of building projects, losing .env files, accidentally leaking secrets, and spending hours recreating API keys on new machines, I decided to build something simple to fix it.

The idea is straightforward: your environment variables should be as portable as your code, but secure. Envval encrypts your .env files on your device before syncing them, so your secrets never leave your machine unprotected.

What Envval does

Envval is a VS Code extension that keeps your .env files in sync across all your devices. Edit a variable on your laptop and it is available on your desktop. Come back to an old project on a new machine and your environment is already set up.

Everything is encrypted end-to-end. The sync server coordinates the transfer but never sees the actual values. Your secrets stay yours.

Who builds this

Envval is built by Rohit Singh Rawat. It is a solo project born out of a real need, not a startup pitch deck.
