Switchboard - System Tracking App
Update! We’re trying to publish the app in the next few days hopefully, if we get a couple hundred in donations, we may likely be able to publish by tomorrow or even today.
We're needing to fundraise this, so our best friend and us can make enough money to survive right now, and not go homeless. Any donations are much appreciated, as it allows us the ability to work on this. Please share with friends if you can!

Features at Launch:
Import from Octocon
Switchboard can import all of your system info easily from your Octocon export! Just select 'Import from Octocon', select the export JSON file, and choose whether to erase any alters you might've already made in Switchboard, or keep them in addition to imported ones.
Open-Source
Switchboard is open-source! You can access the source code from here:
Switchboard
No Alter Limit || Designed for Large and Small Systems
Switchboard won't limit how many alters you can have, even in incredibly large polyfragmented systems.
Never Shutting Down
Switchboard is a passion project, run on our own home server. We decided to make it because we ourselves need it so direly. Even if much of it's development takes some time, it's never getting shut down.
Add & Track Alters + Front History
Add alters, names, import profile pictures (automatically generates copy-able permalink too), add descriptions with text markdown, alter colour, and more! Track who's fronting and view front history.
Custom Fields
Add custom fields, including with markdown! Field types can be plain text, markdown text, colours, numbers, or dates! More types will be added in the future.
Themes + Import/Export
You can change the colours, font, and theme of the app, and even for each alter!
Import a custom font, like a specific dyslexia font for example (including per alter). You can also import/export themes like templates!
You can also adjust what alter boxes look like (for instance square or rounded edges, or flush profile pictures), and the colour an alter's box glows when fronting (customize any colours yourself, or choose from 26 Pride flag presets!).
Android, iOS, & Web App
Switchboard can be downloaded from the Play Store, App Store, or used via it's web app!
Future Features:
Images in Markdown
Import displayable images into descriptions or custom markdown fields! This will allow for the aesthetic and theming customization some apps have had before. Including images in themes' import/export!
Friends & Therapist View + Privacy Buckets
Add friends (systems or singlets), as well as add people with therapist-mode accounts, who can view your system info! This will eventually have privacy-buckets too. You'll also be able to toggle which friends you want front-change notifications from.
Tags/Folders
Add alters to different folders & sub-folders, with share-able descriptions.
Tiered Fronters
Option to tier those added to front; Eg. "Main Fronter", "Second closest", "Third closest", etc.
Import from Other Alternatives + Export
Import system info from other alternatives like SimplyPlural, PluralKit, TupperBox, etc.
Possibly features to export back to some of them too, or maybe even sync, if this feature is wanted and we get enough support.
All Features from Octocon & SimplyPlural
We know many systems pick one app or another due to which ones have features another might not, especially when it sometimes makes or breaks accessability. Even if it takes us some time, we're committed to having all the features of previous alternatives, and more.
Alter Image Boards
A page under each alter you can add a few images, like having multiple faceclaims, for example!
Polls
A feature providing in-system polls, that any alters can vote on, if they choose to.
Whatever else users might request!
We're dedicated to doing our best to add as many features as possible requested by those using Switchboard! (Ko-Fi and Patreon suggestions will be prioritized).
