End-to-end encrypted. Developer-first. Free to start. The secrets platform teams actually want to use.
Powering secrets management for teams everywhere
The average organization has secrets scattered across repos, wikis, Slack messages, and cloud consoles. It's a ticking time bomb.
Secrets live in .env files, Slack DMs, Confluence pages, and shared drives. One leak exposes everything.
43% of exposed secrets are found outside code reposHCP Vault Secrets is retiring June 2026. Self-hosted Vault needs a PhD to operate. Your team deserves better.
Avg. Vault setup: 40+ hoursAWS Secrets Manager and Azure Key Vault lock you into their ecosystems. Multi-cloud? Good luck.
Single-cloud dependencyWhen secret managers are slow or complex, developers hardcode credentials. Security tools should enable, not obstruct.
67% of devs hardcode when tools are slowSecretCarousel replaces fragmented tools with a single, encrypted platform that developers actually want to use.
Every secret is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, the gold standard for authenticated encryption. Your secrets are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
Stop putting credentials in Slack. Share secrets with one-time links that self-destruct, with IP, password, and time restrictions plus a complete audit trail.
Set rotation policies and forget about them. Multi-strategy rotation for databases, APIs, OAuth tokens, and keys — with audit logs ready for your next SOC 2 audit.
Built for teams that take security seriously but don't want to spend months configuring it.
Every secret is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, the gold standard for authenticated encryption. Each secret gets a unique key derived through PBKDF2.
const secret = await sc.secrets.create({
name: "DATABASE_URL",
value: "postgres://user:pass@host/db",
environment: "production"
});
// Encrypted with AES-256-GCM
// Unique key derived via PBKDF2
Share credentials with team members or external parties through encrypted, self-destructing links with granular access controls.
const share = await sc.shares.create({
secretId: "sec_abc123",
expiresIn: "1h",
maxViews: 1,
password: "optional-pin",
allowedIps: ["10.0.0.0/8"]
});
Set rotation policies per secret — database credentials, API keys, OAuth tokens. SecretCarousel handles the rest.
await sc.rotation.configure({
secretId: "sec_abc123",
strategy: "database",
interval: "30d",
notifyBefore: "24h"
});
Full, incremental, or selective backups — all encrypted. Restore to any point in time with a single command.
# Create encrypted backup
$ sc backup create --type full --encrypt
# Restore from backup
$ sc backup restore --id bak_xyz789
Every action logged with full context — who accessed what, when, from where. Export-ready for SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS audits.
const logs = await sc.audit.query({
action: "secret.read",
dateRange: ["2026-01-01", "2026-03-01"],
format: "csv"
});
Every feature is available via REST API. Integrate with your CI/CD pipeline, deployment scripts, or custom tooling in minutes.
# List all secrets in production
$ curl -H "X-API-Key: sc_..." \

Manage secrets across development, staging, and production from a single dashboard. Pull environment-specific .env files with one command.
# Pull secrets for staging
$ sc env pull --env staging > .env
# Promote staging secrets to production
$ sc env promote --from staging --to production
Granular permissions per user, team, and environment. Scope API keys to specific operations and secrets.
await sc.apiKeys.create({
name: "ci-deploy-key",
scopes: ["secrets:read"],
environments: ["production"],
expiresIn: "90d"
});
Three lines of code. That's all it takes.
import SecretCarousel from '@secretcarousel/sdk';
const sc = new SecretCarousel({ apiKey: process.env.SC_API_KEY });
const dbUrl = await sc.getSecret("DATABASE_URL");
from secretcarousel import SecretCarousel
sc = SecretCarousel(api_key=os.environ["SC_API_KEY"])
db_url = sc.get_secret("DATABASE_URL")
import "github.com/secretcarousel/go-sdk"
sc := secretcarousel.New(os.Getenv("SC_API_KEY"))
dbURL, _ := sc.GetSecret("DATABASE_URL")
# Install the CLI
$ npm install -g @secretcarousel/cli
# Authenticate
$ sc auth login
# Fetch a secret
$ sc secrets get DATABASE_URL --env production
# Pull all secrets as .env
$ sc env pull --env production > .env
# Push local .env to SecretCarousel
$ sc env push --env staging < .env
