Disclaimer :fire:
I'm actively developing this application, which means that if you don't trust me (you shouldn't), you should make backups of your host file before using this application in the circumstance that 🦉 deletes everything.
You've been warned. On with the show.
Key Features
- Use Projects for every hostname you're interested in tracking.
- Create Environments for your Projects which point at specific IP addresses.
- Automatic importing of current host files.
- Cross platform - Windows, macOS and Linux ready.
- Pretty as fuck.
- Easy to use, blah blah.
