v2.5.0
Jun 10, 2026

A premium redesign — same JustEnv, finally looking the part.

ImprovedA complete visual refresh that brings the app in line with the website: a refined light and dark theme, cleaner typography, and subtle depth throughout. Nothing moved — everything just looks sharper.
ImprovedA seamless window with a transparent titlebar you can drag from anywhere, a calmer two-tone sidebar, and pill-style selection.
ImprovedPolished details everywhere: hover feedback on cards and rows, a green checkmark when you copy a value, a floating confirmation toast, and a soft brand glow on the welcome and unlock screens.
ImprovedVariable values now use a monospace font while the rest of the interface uses a clean system typeface, so keys and secrets are easy to read at a glance.
v2.4.0
Jun 9, 2026

Bulletproof .env sync, and JustEnv lives in your menu bar.

AddedLive sync: JustEnv now watches your linked folder, so edits to the .env from your editor or terminal show up instantly — no need to refocus the app. Pro only.
AddedLeak guard: when you link or export to a folder, JustEnv makes sure .env* is in that folder's .gitignore — automatically, so secrets never end up in a commit. Pro only.
ImprovedLinks survive renames: rename an environment, or rename the file itself (.env → .env.local), and the folder link follows along instead of silently breaking. Pro only.
ImprovedIf a linked folder or file goes missing, you now get a recovery banner with one-click options to re-link — no more silent failures. Pro only.
ImprovedJustEnv now behaves like a true menu bar app: closing the window or pressing Cmd+Q tucks it into the menu bar instead of quitting. Really quit with Cmd+Opt+Q or the power button in the popup.
Fixed"Open app" from the menu bar popup now correctly restores a minimized window.
v2.3.0
Jun 9, 2026

Check for updates anytime, and a share-link fix.

AddedCheck for Updates on demand — a new button in Settings and in the sidebar pulls the latest version without waiting for the automatic background check.
FixedCreating a share link could fail with "Could not parse server response" on some macOS versions. Sharing now works everywhere.
v2.2.0
Jun 8, 2026

Two-way .env file sync, for JustEnv Pro.

AddedLink a project to a folder and sync its .env both ways — import what's on disk into your vault, or export your vault back out to the file. Pro only.
AddedJustEnv now notices when a linked .env changes outside the app and shows you a per-variable diff before you pull anything in.
ImprovedAdd variables faster: paste a whole .env and it expands into editable key/value rows.
v2.1.0
Jun 7, 2026

Accounts, JustEnv Pro, and project renaming.

AddedSign in to a JustEnv account from Settings or the sidebar — with Google or a magic link — to unlock JustEnv Pro.
AddedJustEnv Pro: unlimited projects. The free plan stays at 5 projects per vault.
AddedRename projects: right-click a project in the sidebar or grid, or use the toolbar in the project view.
v2.0.0
Jun 4, 2026

Menu bar app, Touch ID rework, new foundation.

AddedMenu bar app: open the popup from any app, search projects and copy values without bringing the main window to the front. Re-authenticates on every popup open.
AddedWelcome screen on first launch with "import existing vault" or "start fresh" — older beta installs are detected and migrated automatically.
ImprovedTouch ID is now the primary unlock when available; master password stays one tap away.
FixedTouch ID no longer forgets the saved key after a failed attempt — you can retry without re-entering your master password.
FixedRemoved duplicate Touch ID prompts when the menu bar popup and the main window unlock together.
SecurityMigrated to the Data Protection Keychain with a signed provisioning profile so the vault key is wrapped with a stronger access policy.
v1.0.2
Jun 1, 2026

Beta limit, faster project delete, polish.

AddedBeta limit: up to 5 projects per vault, with an in-app counter in the sidebar.
AddedRight-click on any project (sidebar or grid) to delete it — confirmation + Touch ID required.
FixedSidebar brand header no longer wraps on narrow widths.
v0.1.0
