The Problem
Every developer deals with .env files daily — juggling secrets,
switching between environments, and occasionally committing API keys
by accident. 😬
I wanted something visual and simple right inside VS Code — so I built ENV Manager.
What is ENV Manager?
ENV Manager is a free VS Code extension that gives you a beautiful
UI to manage all your .env files without touching raw files.
Features
- 📁 Multi-profile support — switch between
.env.local,.env.production,.env.stagingwith one click - 🔒 Secret masking — API keys hidden by default, click to reveal
- ✏️ Inline editing — edit variables directly, no raw file editing
- 🔍 Search & filter — find variables instantly
- ⬇️ Export
.env.example— generate safe template with no values - 💾 Save in place — saves directly back to your
.envfile
How to Install
Search "ENV Manager" in VS Code Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X)
