  description

  Soft is a developer environment switcher that lets you switch between localhost, staging, and production in one click - with your exact URL path, query parameters, and hash preserved automatically.
  
  Stop editing URLs by hand. Every developer who works across multiple environments does this manually, dozens of times a day. Soft fixes it permanently.
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  
  Install Soft and click the icon to open the popup
  
  Add your app and map your environment URLs (localhost, staging, production, or any custom environment)
  
  Visit any configured page - the Soft bar appears automatically
  
  Click any environment to switch instantly - same path, every time
  
  FEATURES
  
  ENVIRONMENT SWITCHER
  Switch between dev, staging, and production environments in one click. Your URL path, query params, and hash carry over automatically. No copy-pasting. No typos. No losing your place.
  
  DANGER MODE (Free)
  The bar turns red the moment you land on production. Pulsing warning. Always visible. Because one accidental action on prod is one too many. Free and always on for every user.
  
  STICKY NOTES (Pro)
  Leave floating notes on any page in any environment. Test cards, known bugs, credentials - right where you need them, not buried in Slack or a doc nobody opens.
  
  Keyed to the exact URL and environment. Syncs via Chrome storage.
  
  TEAM SHARING (Pro)
  Export your full environment configuration as JSON or YAML. Share with your team in seconds. One file, identical setup across every machine. No accounts, no sync servers.
  
  FREE VS PRO
  Free tier:
  • 2 apps
  • 2 environments per app
  • Danger Mode - always on
  • Path-preserving environment switching
  • Jump button to open any environment in a new tab
  
  Pro — $6/month:
  • Unlimited apps
  • Unlimited environments
  • Sticky notes per page
  • Team config export and import (JSON and YAML)
  • Unlimited exports

  You switch environments 20 times a day. You shouldn't have to edit URLs manually every single time.
  
  Soft puts a small bar at the top of your browser. Configure your environments once. After that, switching is one click - and everything carries over. Path, query params, hash. Nothing lost.
  
  What Soft does:
  One-click environment switching - go from localhost to staging to production without touching the URL bar. Your exact location is preserved every time.
  
  Danger Mode - the bar turns red the moment you land on production. Unmissable. Because every developer has a story about the one time they forgot they were on prod.
  
  Switch History - every environment switch logged automatically. See exactly when you switched, from where, to where. Free tier shows your last 5 switches.
  
  Environment Changelog - leave timestamped notes per environment. Deployed a fix, spotted an issue, made a change. Log it right there. Free tier includes 1 entry.
  
  Pre-switch Checklist - set up a custom checklist per environment. Soft will ask you to tick every item before switching. Opt-in, never annoying. Free tier includes 1 checklist item.
  
  Sticky Notes - leave floating notes per page per environment. Credentials, known bugs, test data. Right where you need them.
  Keyboard Shortcuts - Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3 to switch without touching the mouse.
  
  Team Sharing - export your entire config as JSON or YAML. One paste and your teammate is set up instantly.
  
  Free tier:
  1 app, 2 environments, last 5 history entries, 1 changelog entry, 1 checklist item, 1 sticky note.
  
  Pro - $6 once. No subscription. No renewal.
  Unlimited everything.
  
  Privacy:
  No tracking. No analytics. No data collection. Single permission: storage. All config stored locally in Chrome sync. Manifest V3.
