100% agree - but we don't believe devs should have to wire up the tooling themselves on every project
varlock.dev has a plugin system coming very soon to connect to all these backends

outside of library code, what app _wouldn't_ require sensitive tokens these days?

A critical feature launch turns sour when key analytics go missing! Discover the common pitfalls in deployment, from overlooked post-production keys to staging vs. prod discrepancies. 🙈 Varlock from @dmno.bsky.social to the rescue! #cicd #environmentvariables #typesafety

🧙‍♂️it's easy to switch and then incrementally add schema as needed. Holler if you give it a try!

dmno.dev @dmno.bsky.social · Aug 26

maybe take varlock.dev for a spin :)

Happy to be featured in today's @console.dev. More integrations coming soon!

Varlock
Enhanced .env files.

What we like
Use decorator comments to create .env config schemas. Allows for validation and type safety. Implement function calls e.g. to load a secret from 1Password. Redacts values in stdout and console methods. Supports different environments. Drop-in replacement for dotenv.

What we don't like
Only has native integrations for Node and Next.js (doesn’t support Turbopack yet), but there is a binary CLI to run and inject values into the environment.

🔥 My friends at DMNO have a new devtool: varlock.

It’s a drop-in replacement for dotenv, and adds a bunch of cool stuff like validation and type safety. It stores the secrets themselves in password managers or encrypted vaults.

The landing page also has a very cool RPG vibe 😄

And finally if you're a library or platform that interacts with .env files, we'd love for you to have a look at our @env-spec RFC github.com/dmno-dev/var...

Anyone who uses .env files can benefit from this DSL.
