Kryptic - Local daemon injects secrets. No .env files or CLI wrappers.

Kryptic is a developer secrets platform that replaces .env files and CLI wrappers. A local daemon signs you in once, then injects secrets over an OS socket when you press run in your IDE. The repo only keeps a commit-safe project ID in kryptic.json. Servers store ciphertext they cannot open; decryption happens on your machine, in the browser, or on a CI runner with a sealed grant. Open-source daemon and SDKs for .NET, Node, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, C++, and Rust. SSO is included on every plan.

Hey Product Hunt, I'm Theodosis.

I kept hitting the same mess: .env files multiplying per environment, getting DMed in Slack, and now coding agents picking them up from the working directory. CLI wrappers help, but only if you remember to use them, and they break the IDE run button.

Check Kryptic's daemon first approach. A local daemon signs you in once, then injects secrets over an OS socket when you press run, so you can skip both the .env file and the wrapper CLI. The repo only keeps a commit-safe project ID. Hosted servers store ciphertext they cannot open. It replaces the full lifecycle from development to production with Docker, K8s and all pipelines support using the same end to end encryption approach.

I'd love feedback from people who are tired of wrappers or worried about agents reading .env files. What would make this fit your workflow?
