Tabwise: Vertical Tabs & Workspaces

Arc-style vertical tabs for Chrome. Smart switching, workspaces, immersive mode. No duplicate tabs. Privacy-first.

Arc-Inspired Workspaces: Vertical Tabs for the AI Browser Era You have 47 tabs open. You can't find Slack. You just opened a 4th Gmail tab. Welcome to hell. --- 🚨 The Backstory Arc ruined us. Once you've tasted vertical tab management, there's no going back to Chrome's sad little horizontal slivers. Then Comet and Atlas launched. AI agents in your browser. The future is here, it's smooth as hell, and it's actually useful. Except... they have horizontal tabs. So now you're stuck in purgatory: - Arc stopped shipping updates. No AI, no agentic future. Just vibes. - New AI browsers (Comet, Atlas, Dia) are smooth, smart, and actually evolving — but force you back to horizontal tabs like it's 2012. You want both. You can't have both. Until now. --- What This Actually Does Vertical Tab Management (The Arc Thing) Side panel. All tabs vertical. Actually readable tab names. No more "..." on everything because horizontal tabs are 3 pixels wide. Smart Tab Switching (Arc's Secret Sauce) The magic that made you fall in love with Arc in the first place: - Click Gmail → Opens Gmail - Click Gmail again → Focuses that same tab (doesn't open another like some kind of psychopath) - Navigate to Settings → Click Gmail again → STILL goes to that tab One site = one tab. Forever. No more 5 Gmail tabs, 3 Slack tabs, existential crisis at 3pm. Workspaces Organize tabs like an adult: - 💼 Work: The stuff your boss thinks you're doing - 🎨 Side Project: The stuff you're actually doing - 🏠 Personal: Twitter doomscrolling (we don't judge) Click to switch context. Collapse what you're not using. Drag stuff between workspaces. It's clean AF. Favorites Grid Daily sites in a grid. Gmail, Slack, Notion, Linear, whatever. Click once = open. Click again = focus. No duplicates. No chaos. Little dots show you what's already open. Green glow = that's your active tab. You'll never lose Gmail again. Tab Grouping (For When Things Get Out of Hand) You have 12 GitHub tabs and 8 Google Docs tabs. We see you. One click: boom. Grouped by site. Collapse the ones you're not using. Close an entire group when you're done with that rabbit hole. Ungroup when you want your chaos back. Open Tabs List See every tab. Right there in the sidebar. Click to switch. Hover for back/forward/close. Drag to reorder. Rename tabs with your own labels because "Untitled Document" tells you nothing. Screenshot Capture Click the camera. Drag to select. Copy or download. No more "let me find that screenshot app" or "which Chrome extension was it again." It's just there. Bug reports, design feedback, "look at this nonsense" Slack messages — covered. Quick Search Because scrolling through 47 tabs is nobody's idea of a good time. Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) → type "slack" → there it is. Done. Searches favorites, workspaces, AND open tabs. Finds it before you finish typing. Navigation Controls Back, forward, refresh. Right there in the sidebar header. Small thing. But you'll use it constantly and wonder why every browser doesn't do this. --- ⚡ New: One-Click Setup Old way: Manually add every site. Create workspaces. Takes 20 minutes. You give up halfway. New way: Click "Set up automatically" - Scans your browsing history (locally, we're not creeps) - Auto-adds your top 20 most-visited sites as favorites - Imports your bookmark folders as workspaces - Optional: Adds a Google Workspace bundle (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Chat) Your sidebar is personalized in 10 seconds. Everything else is drag-and-drop to tweak. --- 👥 Who's This For Arc lovers trapped between browsers You: "Arc's tabs are perfect" Also you: "But Comet has AI agents..." Also you: "Why can't I have both??" Now you can. Problem solved. Chrome users with tab hoarding issues You open 30+ tabs daily. You switch between them constantly. You're a PM, developer, designer, or researcher. Horizontal tabs are actively making your life worse. This fixes that. People who tried Arc and can't go back Once you see vertical tabs + smart switching, horizontal tabs feel like using a flip phone. You know it. We know it. Anyone who's ever thought: - "Wait, where the hell is my Amplitude tab?" - "Did I already have Figma open?" - "I swear I had that doc somewhere..." Not for: people who live with <5 tabs. (Congrats on your simple life. We're jealous.) --- 🛠 Setup = Literally 30 Seconds Now 1. Install extension 2. Click "Set up automatically" (or skip and start empty) 3. Done. Your favorites and workspaces are ready. Want to customize? Drag stuff around. Right-click to rename. Import more from bookmarks anytime. --- 🔒 Privacy Promise - 100% local. No servers, no tracking, no analytics. - Open source. Read every line on GitHub. - History analysis stays on your device. We scan locally to suggest favorites. Nothing leaves your browser. Ever. --- ✅ Works On Any Chromium-based browser --- 💡 Why This Exists Arc figured out vertical tabs + smart switching. It's genius. But they're not building AI features. New AI browsers (Comet, Atlas, Dia) are building the future. But they have horizontal tabs. Thousands of people are stuck. They want AI browsers but can't give up Arc's UX.
