Env Blur

Protect your secrets while screen sharing or recording. Blur .env values with a frosted-glass effect — click a line to reveal it.

Features

• Frosted-glass blur on all environment variable values — keys stay visible, values are unreadable
• Click to reveal — place your cursor on any line to temporarily show its value; move away to re-blur
• Commented variables too — lines like # API_KEY=secret are also blurred
• Status bar toggle — an Env Blur: ON/OFF button appears in the bottom bar whenever you open an env file
• Works on all env file variants:
  • .env, .env.local, .env.production, .env.example, .env.staging, etc.
  • .envrc (direnv)
  • env, env.example, env.development (without leading dot)
  • staging.env, production.env (suffix format)

Usage

1. Open any .env file — values are automatically blurred
2. Click on a line to reveal its value; click elsewhere to re-blur it
3. Use the status bar button (bottom-right) or run Env Blur: Toggle from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) to turn blurring on/off

Why?

Environment files contain API keys, database passwords, and other secrets. During screen sharing, pair programming, or recording tutorials, it's easy to accidentally expose them. Env Blur keeps your values hidden with a frosted-glass effect while letting you see the keys — so you always know what's configured without leaking secrets.
