Switch Workstation Tab Manager Extension

Switch adds a sidebar to your Chrome browser and gives you a set of productivity tools that make it easier to switch between apps, accounts, and workflows.

Unlike desktop workstations, Switch runs inside your Chrome web browser so you can manage all your web applications without sacrificing flexibility and features.

Using the Switch Sidebar helps you to become ultra-productive in the browser with the following features:

🧠 Tab Management
Smart tab management with the Switch sidebar – avoid tab overload and keep track of your browsing with tab stacking.

🐙 Multi-Account Management
Switch lets you log in and use multiple accounts (e.g. Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, etc) for a single website directly from the Switch extension - helping you to focus on the tasks that matter.

📚 Organise your workflow
Organise the internet your way with Spaces – sort information into projects for everything you can think of.

🌟 Favourites & Notifications
Save important web applications as favorites and they'll stay in the sidebar even after you close them. Open them with 1 click, and see instant notifications badges in the Sidebar from your favorite communication apps (i.e. Slack, Gmail, Messenger, Outlook).

🔍 Active Search
Find your active tabs with a simple text search and see them listed chronologically for easy access.

You can create up to 2 Spaces and save up to 2 Favourites in our free version. We also offer a Switch Pro subscription plan with unlimited functionality and the following advanced features:

🕵️‍♂️ Advanced Search
Quickly find any tab from your history with our keyword search. Switch uses a flexible search algorithm that makes finding what you need fast and easy.

🗂 Document Management Search
With our filters, you can easily search through your Google Drive accounts. All Docs, Sheets, Slides show up and are sorted chronologically, meaning you can find and manage your documents in seconds.

🏄 Tab Flow
Whether you're comparing multiple tabs or responding to a loved one on Facebook, easily switch back and forth between your recent tabs with Switch Tab History and get back into the flow.


When logging in, we will ask you to verify your email address. Your email address is only used to log you in to your account and for email updates about the product. You can read our full privacy policy here:

Michael Jennings (ID: 000000ea98bccd41) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/27/2023 BEWARE!! This is ABANDONWARE, and the developer is either unable or unwilling to respond to requests to cancel the pro plan!!! I had to CANCEL MY DEBIT CARD and get a new one because its been months and they won't stop charging! I'm going to do everything possible to get Google to take action here.
