Service Worker Manager
Product development, Developer tooling, Chrome extension
A quick reset for stale service workers
Old service workers and caches kept making healthy local projects look broken. We built a tool to inspect and clear them, used it ourselves, then released it as a free Chrome extension.
It works on the active tab’s origin. Developers can unregister workers, clear named caches or reset both in one action, with all processing kept in the browser.
We built Service Worker Manager for ourselves first. Stale workers on reused localhost ports kept turning healthy apps into false negatives. Once it became part of our regular debugging flow, publishing it for other developers was the obvious next step.
