 `dotenv-vault` is a cli to *sync .env files across machines, environments, and team members*.
 
+> **Note:** dotenv-vault is a **paid only cloud service for syncing your .env files** (as of May 2025). If you are looking for a free cloud-less alternative see my new product [dotenvx](https://github.com/dotenvx/dotenvx) that lets you encrypt your .env files – safely commit them to code and syncing them with git.
