Drag-to-reorder everywhere: arrange your Fragments, Profiles, and Sources lists the way you want.

Requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later.

New

  • Drag-to-reorder in all three sidebars. Grab a fragment, profile, or source and drag it up or down — Finder-style, no Edit mode. The order is purely for organizing your lists: what gets written to /etc/hosts is still controlled per profile.
  • System Default stays pinned at the top of the Profiles list — it can't be dragged, and nothing can be dropped above it.
  • Built-in sources keep their canonical order; only the sources you've added yourself can be reordered.

Install

  1. Download HostsSwitchr-0.2.2.dmg below.

  2. Open it and drag Hosts Switchr onto Applications. (If Hosts Switchr is already running, quit it first from its menu-bar icon, otherwise macOS will say the item is in use.)

  3. The app is unsigned (it deliberately uses no Apple Developer Program, signing, or privileged helper), so macOS blocks it on first launch. To allow it:

    • Double-click Hosts Switchr; when macOS warns it "can't verify the developer," click Done (not "Move to Trash").
    • Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and scroll to the Security section.
    • Click Open Anyway next to "Hosts Switchr" was blocked to protect your Mac, then authenticate and click Open.

    macOS only asks once — after that it launches normally.

/etc/hosts is only ever changed when you click Apply (you'll be asked for your admin password — the only privileged step).
