Launch orgs fast
Open Salesforce CLI authenticated orgs from Chrome without manually running `sf org open`.
Chrome Extension + Local Companion
Open the right Salesforce org in seconds.
A polished launcher for Salesforce CLI authenticated orgs. Search aliases, spot expired sessions, group environments, open Setup, and launch the right org without digging through terminal output.
CLI-first
Loads authenticated Salesforce CLI orgs first. Project folder scanning stays optional.
Local-first
Stores preferences and cached org metadata locally in Chrome storage.
Team-ready
Favorites, saved groups, re-auth guidance, and safer launch URL copy built in.
One command connects Chrome to Salesforce CLI
Chrome installs the extension. The companion host is installed once per machine because Chrome cannot silently install local native messaging hosts.
npx --yes github:kiranvm143/salesforce-cli-org-launcher-service-worker install

Built for everyday Salesforce work
The extension, service worker, and local companion work together to make CLI-authenticated orgs easy to find, group, and open.
Status-aware cards
Connected, expired, and unreachable statuses are shown clearly with safe actions.
Saved groups
Create custom groups for demos, releases, UAT, or daily work. They stay available after reopen.
Settings stay focused
Auth new orgs, cache, theme, and optional project scanning live in a dedicated settings view.
Install flow
Two pieces are required: the Chrome extension from Web Store and the local companion that lets Chrome talk to Salesforce CLI.
1
Add the extension
Install Salesforce CLI Org Launcher from the Chrome Web Store.
2
Run the companion command
The command detects macOS, Windows, or Linux and installs the right native host package.
3
Refresh and launch
Open the popup, click Refresh, then search and open your Salesforce CLI orgs.
Companion setup
Most users should use the one-command setup. Manual packages are available for managed or offline distribution.
npx --yes github:kiranvm143/salesforce-cli-org-launcher-service-worker install
Manual package
Fallback ZIP when company policy blocks `npx` or GitHub package install.
Setup app
Fallback EXE for managed desktop teams that prefer packaged installation.
PowerShell fallback
Portable ZIP for offline or managed PowerShell installation.
Product views
Clean screenshots for the Web Store and public docs, using neutral demo org names.
Persistent groups
Create and manage org groups that remain available across extension opens.
Focused settings
Keep auth, cache, theme, and optional project scanning away from the main launcher list.
Clear setup state
When the companion is missing, users see prerequisites and the exact command to run.
Narrow permissions
No broad website access. Preferences and cached org metadata stay local.
Privacy and permissions
The launcher is built around local productivity and asks only for the permissions needed for this workflow.
`storage`
Saves local settings, favorites, groups, theme preferences, and cached org metadata inside Chrome storage.
`nativeMessaging`
Lets the extension communicate with the installed local companion host that runs Salesforce CLI commands.
