For Chrome on Mac · coming soon

Your tabs, finally in order.

Strata names your Chrome windows, puts a switcher right in the tab strip, and opens a second row where every tab is readable — tab groups as columns.

Why Strata

Chrome shrinks your tabs. Strata spreads them out.

01 · Named windows

Every window says what it’s for.

Give windows a name and a color — “Client · Nike”, “Personal”, “Research”. A small capsule in Chrome’s tab strip shows it, and one click opens a menu of all your windows. Names and colors come back after a restart.

02 · The second row

Every tab readable, none squeezed.

Swipe down on the tab strip and a second row unfolds right below it: every tab with its full title, tab groups as columns in Chrome’s own colors. Drag a tab into another group, or drag a whole group — Chrome’s strip follows.

03 · Parking and tidy

Idle tabs step aside on their own.

Tabs you haven’t touched in a while leave the strip and wait under “Parked” — one click brings them back, search still finds them. Tidy closes duplicates and groups the rest by site, with undo.

Never pinned, grouped or playing tabs

Ten colors, one rule

Colors chosen by math, not by mood.

Every window color has the same perceived lightness and the same saturation in OKLCH — hues sit 40° apart on the wheel. None shouts, none disappears, on a light toolbar or a dark one. New windows pick colors far apart from the last, so neighbours never blur together.

Questions

Does it work with my existing Chrome?+

Yes. Strata is a Chrome extension plus a tiny Mac helper. It doesn’t replace Chrome’s tabs — it adds to them, and everything you do in Strata (moving, grouping, pinning) happens in Chrome’s real tab strip.

What does it know about my browsing?+

Only what it needs to draw your tabs, and it never leaves your Mac. No account, no servers, no analytics. The helper needs no Accessibility, Screen Recording or Input Monitoring permission.

Windows or Linux?+

Mac first. The extension half already works everywhere; the in-strip capsule and second row are Mac-only for now.

What will it cost?+

The extension — names, colors, switcher, tidy — is free. Strata Pro (the capsule, the second row, parking and drag-and-drop) will be a one-time purchase, with an early price for the waitlist.

Close fewer tabs. Find all of them.
