Bristle
Markup where the component goes, CSS in your stylesheet, script before </body>. In Vue, Svelte or Angular, call initToggleBristle(el) on the mounted element instead.

Paste into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor after filling in {{USER_STACK}}, {{USER_STYLING}} and {{USER_CONSTRAINTS}}. Neutral keeps the greys you see here; Match my project asks the model to map them onto your own colour tokens.

The track is a strip of brush bristles seen from the side: the thumb rides on their tips, bending them as it passes and pressing them down where it stops, and they spring back up behind it.

Accessibility
Keyboard and screen readers
A native checkbox with role="switch" inside a <label>, so Space toggles it and the visible text names it; :focus-visible on the input outlines the track, which is aria-hidden. The bristles are drawing only.
Reduced motion
Nothing bends and the thumb jumps.
Use it in anything you build, commercial and client work included. Licence
