Why Envis
Envis connects installation, isolation, switching, and sharing in one workflow. Even across multiple stacks, every environment stays clear, controlled, and reproducible.
Switch safely
Save a version set per project so legacy work and modern stacks never collide.
See everything
Bring runtime status, system resources, and service settings into one view.
Take it anywhere
Export a complete setup and reproduce it quickly on another machine.
Workflow
Environment management should feel this direct
Turn frequent, error-prone setup work into a visible, reusable, and portable four-step flow.
Create
Make an isolated workspace for each project without disrupting global tools.
Compose
Add languages, databases, servers, and custom services as needed.
Switch
Keep multiple version sets and move between projects in one step.
Transfer
Export the complete setup so another machine can reproduce it quickly.
Interface
One workspace for every project's environment
Stop bouncing between installers, terminals, config files, and system settings. Envis brings the full environment lifecycle into one clear workspace.
Create an isolated project environment
Name a dedicated workspace with its own services and versions. Keep the system clean and other projects untouched.
Choose the services and versions you need
Combine languages, databases, and servers around the project. Reuse installed versions or download another when needed.
Keep full control of the details
Configure registries, install prefixes, and runtime settings per service. Envis removes repetition without hiding the controls developers need.
