Separate work and personal in Chrome with Spaces.

One browser, several start pages. With Spaces, your new tab shows work links during the day and your own things in the evening. Each Space has its own bookmarks and widgets, and switching takes one click.

One new tab is rarely enough

Most people use the same browser for work, family, shopping and hobbies. A single start page then either gets crowded or leaves things out. Spaces solve that without extra browser profiles: each Space is a complete start page of its own.

The Spaces bar sits at the top edge of the page and stays there while you scroll. Click a name and the whole page changes: bookmarks, widgets and layout. New installs start with seven Spaces, from General to Work to Shopping, and you can rename, reorder, add or delete them.

What Spaces can do

Their own bookmarks and widgets

Every bookmark belongs to one Space. Widgets do too, unless you pin them to all Spaces, where they keep the same place and size.

The right Space at the right time

Set a default Space for working hours and another for off hours. Startwerk opens the matching one whenever you open a new tab.

Quick to rearrange

In edit mode, drag a Space tab to reorder it, or drop a bookmark onto a tab to move it there.

Works without the bar, too

Remove the bar and faint arrows at the page edges switch between Spaces, with a small badge showing where you are.

Set up your Spaces

  1. Install Startwerk

    Add Startwerk to Chrome and open a new tab. The Spaces bar is already at the top.

  2. Name your Spaces

    Click Edit, then the pencil on a Space to rename it, or + to add one. Delete the ones you don’t need.

  3. Choose a Space for work hours

    In Settings → Working hours, pick a default Space for working hours and one for off hours.

Questions and answers

Is a Space the same as a Chrome profile?
No. A Chrome profile has its own history, passwords and extensions. A Space only changes what your new tab shows, so you stay in one browser and one profile.
How many Spaces can I have?
As many as you like. New installs start with seven, and you can add or delete Spaces at any time. The last Space can’t be deleted.
What happens when I delete a Space?
Its bookmarks and widgets move to the first remaining Space, so nothing is lost.
