Spaceship
One window. Many identities.
In development
A Chromium-based browser built around Spaces: color-coded sets of tabs, each signed in as its own identity, that you show or hide as a group inside one window.
Spaces and identities
Each Space runs on its own identity, with its own cookies and logins, so you can be signed into the same site as different people side by side. Work, personal, and client accounts stop colliding without juggling profiles or windows.
Sites can belong to a Space. Open one somewhere else, and Spaceship offers to move it where it belongs. Links clicked in other apps ask which Space should open them.
Staying on top of a lot of tabs
- The overview opens with a double tap of Shift. Rename, recolor, group, hibernate, and reorder Spaces, manage identities, and search every open tab.
- Keyboard first: Ctrl+1 through 9 shows or hides a Space, and Ctrl+Shift+E starts a new one.
- Focus mode hides everything except the Space you're working in.
- Groups collapse a Space to a single tab, with its own tabs in a second row.
- Hibernation frees a Space's memory but keeps its tabs, which reload when you return.
- Unread counts from page titles, and a dot for background changes, show what needs attention.
- Incognito Spaces keep nothing: no history, no restore, and no sync.
- Sane tab order: new tabs open next to their Space's tabs, and closing one returns you to the tab you came from.
A thin layer over Chromium
Spaceship is built as a thin layer over an unmodified Chromium, so it can follow new Chromium releases closely instead of falling behind on security fixes. Extensions and sites work the way they do in any Chromium browser.
Screenshots
Spaces in one window: the line under each tab shows which Space it belongs to.
A Space shown as a group: one tab in the strip, with its own tabs in a second row.
The overview: every Space with its identity, tabs, and controls, plus search across all open tabs.
Space domains: a site that belongs to a Space always opens there.
Identities: each Space signs in as its own identity, which you can merge with another or keep isolated.
Resting tabs dim in the strip until you come back to them.
