Switch between projects in Chrome with workspaces

Keeping every project open at once is what fills a browser with a hundred tabs. A workspace lets you close a project without losing it.

Coming soon to the Chrome Web Store

How

  1. Put a project’s tabs in one window. In the panel choose New workspace, name it, and keep "From this window".
  2. Work as usual. Tabs you open, close or group in that window are saved by themselves.
  3. When you are done, press Close on the workspace. To continue, press Open, or type "stow", a space and part of its name in the address bar.

What you get

  • Opening a workspace that is already open switches to its window instead of opening a second copy.
  • After a restart, a window Chrome reopened is matched to its workspace by what is in it.
  • Right-click any page and choose "Move this tab to a workspace", or a link and choose "Open the link in a workspace". A closed workspace is opened first.
  • With Pro, rules send new tabs from a site you name to the right workspace and tab group, and templates start a new workspace from a saved set.

Limits worth knowing

  • The free plan follows 3 workspaces. Over that, a workspace is kept as it is and can still be opened as a copy and exported.
  • A workspace is one window.
  • Workspaces live in one browser profile. To use them in another, make a backup file and import it there; they arrive as snapshots.

This is part of the free plan. See pricing.
