Our verdict on Keyway

Keyway is a secrets management platform for developers and teams that organize work around GitHub repositories. It connects repository permissions with secret access, stores secrets using AES-256-GCM encryption, and supports local, development, staging, and production environments. The CLI, web dashboard, API, and self-hosted deployment model suit teams that want repository-centered workflows across web, Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Pricing is accessible for small teams. The Free plan costs €0 per month and includes unlimited public repositories, one private repository, three environments per repository, two provider integrations, unlimited collaborators, and CLI and web dashboard access. Pro costs €9 per month and adds 10 private repositories with unlimited environments and collaborators. Team costs €19 per month and adds 20 private repositories, audit logs, and member management. Business costs €39 per month and includes 50 private repositories, unlimited collaborators, exposure reports, and priority support. A 14-day free trial is also available.

Keyway’s standout workflow is its keyway run command, which injects environment variables into process memory without creating an on-disk .env file. Version history with diff and rollback gives teams a way to manage changes, while integrations cover GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Vercel, Netlify, and Railway. These capabilities make it a strong fit for Git-based development and deployment pipelines. Teams needing secret rotation or dynamic secrets should consider a platform with deeper capabilities in those areas instead.
