Raygun is happy to release the latest UI to the internal Raygun App Switcher. The latest improvements to the App Switcher UI make it easy to toggle between your applications inside Raygun.

This handy feature allows you to focus on your most valuable dashboards and applications. For example, you may want to star applications that deal with production data, which are more important than development environments. Here’s how it looks in the “Applications” window:
