Work continuation for Chrome
Forty seconds, start to finish
One project's tabs saved into a Workspace, closed, and brought back later with the note you left yourself. Recorded from the SwitchCue build you can install today.
No sound — there is nothing to listen to. Everything in it is the shipped extension; the pages it opens are local test pages with invented names.
The same loop, written down
Eight tabs, and six of them are one job
A morning's work on one project, with a couple of unrelated pages open beside it. Nothing here is unusual — it is what a browser looks like by eleven o'clock.
Make a Workspace from the tabs you already have
SwitchCue lists the tabs in the window. Untick the two that belong to something else, give the Workspace a name, and write the one thing to do next.
The Workspace holds the tabs and the line you wrote
Six tabs saved, and the Next Action on top of them. Nothing has closed yet — the Workspace exists whether or not you decide to clear the window.
Pause saves first, then closes only what you put in
The screen says what is about to happen — six tabs saved and closed, two left alone — before anything does. The two unrelated pages stay exactly where they were.
Chrome is clean, and you get on with something else
This is the part that is hard to do by hand. The work is not lost, it is put away, and the browser is no longer carrying it around.
Later, the Workspace comes back with its Next Action
Open SwitchCue, pick the Workspace, and the six tabs reopen — with the line you wrote waiting, and the page you were last on ready to carry on from.
Try it on one project
Make a Workspace from the tabs you have open right now. If it is not for you, uninstalling removes everything it stored.
No account. No servers of ours — your Workspace data stays on this computer. How that works.
