Demo changes stay in this tab's memory. EnvDesk reviews real changes before writing them to disk.

The demo is the workspace. This is the workflow behind it.

Your files stay where they are. EnvDesk gives you one controlled path from discovery to a reviewed local write.

  1. 01

    Point EnvDesk at a project folder or a single .env file.

  2. 02

    Inspect keys across local, preview, and production environments.

  3. 03

    Review the exact change, then write it back to disk.

Control the files, not a second source of truth.

One workspace for every project
Bring project folders and standalone .env files together without moving them from disk.
Compare environments before they drift
Spot missing keys and differences across environment files before they become production surprises.
Review every write
EnvDesk asks for confirmation before it updates a local environment file.
Keep secrets local
Protect workspaces with local passphrase encryption and mask sensitive values by default.

A simple desktop license.
