Phase is a secrets and environment configuration management platform designed for development teams. It provides a centralised interface for organising application credentials, managing environment variables and controlling access to sensitive information.
The software brings secrets management into the application development workflow. Teams can maintain separate configurations for development, testing and production while sharing credentials through controlled access rather than exchanging configuration files containing sensitive values.
Phase can be self-hosted, giving organisations control over their secrets management infrastructure. Its web console provides a visual interface for managing applications and environments, while companion tools allow credentials to be accessed during local development and automated deployment.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Web-based dashboard – manages application secrets and environment variables through a central console.
- End-to-end encryption – protects sensitive values using client-side cryptographic operations.
- Environment management – organises secrets across development, staging, production and other application environments.
- Secret version history – records changes and allows previous secret values to be restored.
- Role-based access control – manages user permissions and access to application environments.
- Secret referencing – reuses values across applications and environments without manually duplicating credentials.
- Personal overrides – allows developers to maintain individual secret values without modifying shared configurations.
- Secret comparison – identifies differences between environment configurations.
- Audit logging – records secret access and modification events for administrative review.
- CI/CD integration – connects secret management with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and other deployment systems.
- CLI and SDK integration – enables applications and development tools to retrieve and inject managed credentials programmatically.
- Secret synchronisation – distributes selected credentials to supported external services and deployment platforms.
- Self-hosting – enables organisations to operate the management platform on their own infrastructure.
