Command center
Your tabs as cards you can search, sort into folders, and split.
The command center replaces the tab strip and the address bar. It's a grid of live previews of your open tabs with a search box on top.
Opening it
- ⌘CtrlT opens it at the top level, ready for a new tab.
- ⌘CtrlL opens it on the current tab's folder, with that tab's card picked.
- Shake the pointer. Set the shake's direction, size, and pace in Settings → Gestures.
Press Esc or click outside it to close it.
Searching
Type to filter your open tabs, or press Enter to go to an address or search the web. The search box also answers some things itself, worked out on your computer:
- Math, including percentages and functions:
15% of 240 - Units: length, weight, volume, temperature, speed, storage, time, and area:
5 miles in km - Currencies, 31 of them at the European Central Bank's daily rates:
250 usd to eur - Bangs search a site directly:
!yt lofi,!gh electron
Pick your search engine in Settings → General: Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Brave, Kagi, or Ecosia. You can also add your own with a !shortcut.
Lists
Type one of these words on its own and the cards turn into a list with a detail pane:
| Word | Shows |
|---|---|
history | Pages you've visited, by day |
downloads | Your downloads, with Open and Show in folder |
closed | Tabs this window closed |
chat | Your AI chats |
notes | Your notes |
Use the arrow keys to move through the list, Enter to open, and Tab to filter it. ⌘CtrlK shows what you can do with the picked row. Esc takes you back to the search.
Folders and colors
Drag cards into folders to group them. Folders nest as deep as you like, and the command center takes on an open folder's color. Right-click a card or a folder for its options.
Split view
Drop a card on the edge of another card to see both tabs side by side.
Sleeping tabs
A sleeping tab keeps its place but frees its memory, and wakes when you open it. Right-click a card to sleep it, or sleep every other tab at once with the command center's Sleep other tabs button. The tab you're on and anything playing sound stay awake.
Undo
⌘CtrlZ undoes the last drag, split, or folder move, and ⌘Ctrl⇧ShiftZ redoes it. Undo only covers how tabs are laid out: it never closes or reopens a tab. To get a closed tab back, press ⌘Ctrl⇧ShiftT.
Layouts
Settings → Tab dialog → Layout changes how the cards are drawn, from the default Classic grid to a list like Inbox. See Command center layouts for all of them, plus the command center's size, order and previews.
