How it compares
Why not just use Bitwarden or Doppler?

What about teams?
Work offline locally, sync through CI - no team cloud required
Cloakspire is offline-first by design: there's no central server to trust, breach, or pay for per seat. For a small team, that's not a gap - it's the pitch.
Today, sharing a project between teammates means passing the vault file directly, or using the Pro Vercel / GitHub Actions sync as the hand-off point - push from your machine, teammates (and CI) pull from there. Native multi-user sync isn't built yet, and we'd rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise.
