Switchyard

Switchyard snapshots and guards Windows file-association tracks (open verb, static icon, thumbnails) so installers cannot quietly rebrand your Explorer icons — and so smarter open routing can land later without hijacking the yard.

Roles (not alternate product names): file router (debranded) and app broker (architecture talk). Brand stays Switchyard.

Highlights

  • Separate open vs DefaultIcon vs thumbnail tracks (installers often rewrite them together)

  • CLI: show, snapshot, doctor (icon lock / restore planned)

  • Roles: file router (debranded), app broker (architecture); brand stays Switchyard

Get started

Getting started — build with DUB and run show / snapshot / doctor.
