Environment variables

Environment variables are secrets with the Environment category: configuration values like connection strings and service keys, presented as name → value pairs.

Adding a variable

1. Open Connections → Secrets
2. Add an item with the Environment category
3. Name it like the variable (DATABASE_URL), paste the value, save

What belongs here

Anything a tool or agent would otherwise read out of a .env file:

# Database
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/mydb"
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379

# API keys
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_abc123
OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-proj-..."

The export caveat

Anything you copy out of the vault is plaintext from that moment on. Treat an exported .env like the credential file it is — same care, same distribution.

Bulk import and export

Not wired into the current panel — add values one item at a time for now. Import from .env and export in dotenv, JSON, YAML, and shell shapes are on the roadmap; this page updates when they land.
