Soft

Soft is a Chrome extension that lets developers switch among predefined environments—such as localhost, staging, and production—with a single click while keeping the current URL path intact. After a one‑time configuration of apps and their environment mappings, the extension detects the visited site, displays a slim bar indicating the active environment, and allows instant navigation to the same page on another environment.

Key features include path‑preserving navigation, a visual “Danger Mode” warning when the production environment is selected, per‑page sticky notes for sharing information, and the ability to export and import configuration JSON for team sharing. The tool is positioned as a lightweight, no‑bloat solution for developers who frequently move between environments during testing and debugging.

The extension is free to install, with a paid tier that adds unlimited apps and environments, sticky notes, and team sharing capabilities. It aims to reduce manual URL editing and the associated risk of operating on the wrong environment.
