:rocket: Niagara Workbench Version Switcher — Version 1 Now Live! :tada:

Hey everyone! :waving_hand:

I’m excited to share the first release of the Niagara Workbench Version Switcher — a handy tool to make your Niagara day-to-day easier.

:wrench: Easily switch between multiple Niagara Workbench versions
:wrapped_gift: Free, lightweight, and open to feedback!

:hammer_and_wrench: Key Features

:white_check_mark: Quickly toggle between Niagara Workbench versions
:white_check_mark: No bloat – clean and minimal design
:white_check_mark: 100% free to use and share with your team

:megaphone: Version 1 — Your Feedback Matters!

This is just the beginning — and I’d love your help to shape where it goes next:

:light_bulb: Got an idea for a feature?
:beetle: Found a bug or quirk?
:chart_increasing: Want to see more integrations or improvements?

Drop your thoughts in the comments or DM me — let’s build something great together! :raising_hands:

:inbox_tray: Download & Installation

:backhand_index_pointing_right:WorkbenchSwitcherSetup.exe (50.0 MB)

Note: When installing, Windows may warn that the publisher is unknown. This is expected — it’s a free tool, and I’m not paying for a code-signing certificate at this time. For transparency, I’ll be releasing the source code soon.

Uuh nice. I’m definitely gonna give it a go. Have been using something like it before, but I’m drowning in windows as it is, so I uninstalled it. Really like the Tray menu icon option here :flexed_biceps:
Gonna be exciting to see if my work computer will let me install it, when it’s unsigned :crossed_fingers::sweat_smile:

Would be great if it also was possible to change the running platform daemon
