Congrats on the launch. Great to see more products in this space. I'm also familiar (but never used) Envkey, which I think might also be from the YC alumni? but I'm not sure...

Super happy user of EnvKey here - I'd be interested to hear what sets Doppler apart.

We are friends with the folks at EnvKey! Our core philosophy is what’s different, we focus on building something for the everyday developer, where we abstract as much overhead as possible. A example of this is how you log into the Doppler CLI when developing. The “doppler login” command takes you to the browser and you sign in like how you would any other site. There is no need to remember API keys, everything is handled behind the scenes for you. Other things that set us apart: audit logs, versioning, and rich integrations with production infras like AWS, GCP, Heroku, Vercel, Netlify, etc.. Besides that, our pricing is much more friendly, we offer a free tier for unlimited users for all the core functionality.
Great point about dynamic secrets. This is an area we currently don't address, but it is definitely on our roadmap. There is a segment of the market for which dynamic secrets are an absolute requirement and we fully acknowledge that.
Just out of curiosity - what do people use dynamic secrets for? What is a "dynamic" secret anyway?
A simple example that we use them for is for dynamic database credentials. So you no longer define a static username/password. You request the access/credentials from vault as you need them.
Can I change my local secrets without using the web interface? I see there's a local fallback mode but it's not immediately clear if it's user updatable.

You can indeed! You can manage all of your secrets from the Doppler CLI [0]. Specifically, you'd want the `doppler secrets update` command.
