## 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.
