Auto-cloaking

It just works. Open your .env files in VSCode, and they will be auto-cloaked. Click the 'Toggle auto-cloaking' link at the top of your .env file to toggle it off.

Multiple .env file types supported.

• .env
• .env.vault
• .env.me
• .env.example
• .env.*
• .flaskenv

Auto-completion

Start typing process.env. (or language specific env statement) and your cursor will be populated with auto-completion options directly from your .env file.

Multiple languages supported.

• JavaScript/TypeScript/NodeJS
• Ruby
• Python
• PHP
• Go

In-code secret peeking

Hover your mouse over a process.env.SECRET_KEY or a ENV["SECRET_KEY"], and you will be able to peek at its value without having to open your .env file.

Multiple languages supported.

• JavaScript/TypeScript/NodeJS
• Ruby
• Python
• PHP
• Go

Syntax Highlighting

It just works. Open your .env files in VSCode, they will now be syntax highlighted.

Vault

Vault lets you sync your .env files quickly & securely. Stop sharing them over insecure channels like Slack and email, and never lose an important .env file again.

Read more about Vault.
