EnvPane
A macOS preference pane for setting user environment variables that works immediately without requiring a logout.
What is EnvPane?
EnvPane is a macOS preference pane that allows users to set and manage environment variables globally for all applications, including both GUI and terminal apps. It solves the problem of Apple removing the native `~/.MacOSX/environment.plist` support by providing a GUI interface that applies changes immediately without requiring a system logout.
macOS developers and power users who need to manage environment variables for development tools, application configuration, or system customization across both terminal and GUI applications.
Developers choose EnvPane because it restores a critical macOS feature with a native preference pane interface, applies changes in real-time through proper launchd integration, and supports advanced features like variable interpolation—all without requiring system reboots.
