A switch that previews the change before you make it: on hover the thumb leans toward the other end, the track hints at the next state and a line under the label says what a press will do.

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 "what a press will do" line is outside the label and linked with aria-describedby, so keyboard and screen reader users get the same preview as a hover.
Reduced motion
The thumb does not lean or slide.
Use it in anything you build, commercial and client work included. Licence
