ENV Streamer Mode

Protect your .env files while streaming. Automatically detects streaming software and blocks file content until you confirm it's safe to view.

How It Works

The extension detects when streaming software is running
When you open a .env file, instead of showing the content, you see a protection screen
You must explicitly confirm you want to see the file content
If no streaming software is detected, .env files open normally

No values are ever shown without your consent while streaming.
