EnvRadar

The .env manager devs actually need.

EnvRadar goes beyond syntax highlighting. It protects your project from environment variable misconfigurations, leaked secrets, and type errors.

Features

Visual Diff

Compare .env.example against your actual .env file. See missing, extra, and changed variables in a clean visual panel.

Secret Scanner

Detects hardcoded API keys, tokens, passwords, and private keys in your source code. Supports GitHub PATs, AWS keys, OpenAI/Stripe keys, Slack tokens, and more.

Type Validation

Auto-infers expected types from variable names (PORT → number, DATABASE_URL → url, DEBUG → boolean) and validates values. Add custom type hints via settings.

Always-visible sidebar showing:

Environment Overview — all your .env files and their variables
Missing Variables — what's in .env.example but not in .env
Secret Alerts — leaked secrets found in your codebase

Status Bar

Persistent indicator showing how many env vars are missing. Click to open the diff view.

File Watcher

Auto-refreshes when any .env* file changes.
