Rambox

Workspaces

Apps are grouped into workspaces by client, project or role, with one-click switching between them. Workspaces are part of the Pro plan.

Multiple accounts per app

Several sessions of the same app, such as Gmail, WhatsApp or Instagram, stay logged in at the same time, each under its own profile.

Preloaded and custom apps

More than 700 apps are preloaded and added in seconds, and any other web-based tool can be brought in as a custom app.

Focus mode and notification control

Focus mode pauses notifications for deep work, and alerts and badges can be set per app or per workspace.

Tiles and quick search

The screen can be divided into tiles to work across several apps at once, and a quick search shortcut finds and switches apps.

Advanced app controls

Pro adds browser extensions, a proxy per app, JavaScript and CSS injection, a custom user agent and a mobile view. The app can be locked with a master password or security key.

Wavebox

Apps, groups and Spaces

Web apps sit in a sidebar and are grouped much like apps on a phone, and Spaces keep separate setups for work, home or individual clients.

Several accounts signed in at once

Multiple accounts of the same service, such as Gmail, Slack, Microsoft Teams or Asana, stay signed in side by side without switching browsers or profiles.

Unread badges and notifications

Apps show unread badges and desktop notifications, the Wavebox Mini menu lists what is new across accounts, and Focus Mode silences them for a while.

Split screen and tab strips

Any app or tab can be split into resizable panes, including two accounts of the same type, and every group has its own tab strip.

AI assistant on the page

A chosen AI engine works in the context of the current app or tab, with ready-made skills in the right-click menu and custom skills. It can be disabled.

Chrome extensions and team setups

Extensions install from the Chrome Web Store, with 20 or more built in. Teams can share an app setup with encrypted passwords and manage the browser remotely.
