The Grid View (Default)

Designed for spatial memory.

Cards

Each tab is represented as a large card with its favicon and title clearly visible.

Smart Columns

The grid automatically adjusts between 2 to 6 columns based on your screen width (Responsive Design). This ensures optimal use of space on any monitor.

Visual Cues

Blue Border: The currently selected item
Speaker Icon 🔊: Indicates audio is playing (click to mute)
Color Bar: Indicates the tab belongs to a specific Tab Group

The List View

Designed for information density.

Accessed via Options (click the gear icon)
Displays tabs in a compact vertical list
Best for reading long page titles or URLs
Shows more tabs at once without scrolling

💡 Pro Tip

Use Grid View when you rely on visual recognition (favicons, colors). Use List View when you need to see full titles or manage many tabs quickly.
