Split View

View multiple web pages simultaneously in a single browser tab with flexible layouts and unlimited views.

Creating Split Views

Method 1: Drag & Drop

  1. Open a bookmarked page in a tab
  2. In the side panel, drag another bookmark or open tab onto the open bookmark
  3. Drop it when you see a blue highlight
  4. The pages will appear side-by-side automatically
💡 Tip: You can continue dragging more bookmarks or tabs onto the split view to add additional views (3, 4, 5+).

Method 2: Peek Overlay

  1. Click any link on a page
  2. The peek overlay will appear showing a preview
  3. Click "◧ Open in Split View"
  4. The link opens next to your current page in a split view

Method 3: Opening Multi-View Bookmark

  1. Click an inactive multi-view bookmark in the side panel
  2. All views will automatically restore in the split layout
  3. Layout and orientations are preserved from when you last used it

Split View Orientations

Two Views (Main + One Split)

For bookmarks with exactly 2 views, you can toggle between:

  1. Hover over the main view (left or top)
  2. An action overlay will appear in the top-right corner
  3. Click the orientation button (⬌) to toggle between horizontal and vertical
  4. The layout switches instantly

Multiple Views (3+)

For bookmarks with 3 or more views, each view has its own orientation button that controls the split after that view:

Layout Examples

All Vertical (Default for 3+ views)

View 0
View 1
View 2

All Horizontal

View 0
View 1
View 2

Mixed Layout

View 0
View 1
View 2
💡 Tip: Mix vertical and horizontal splits to create custom layouts that fit your workflow. For example, you could have the top half showing two views side-by-side, and the bottom half showing a full-width view.

Resizing Views

You can resize views by dragging the splitters between them:

Each splitter can be resized independently. The minimum size for any view is 200px.

Split View Actions

When you hover over any view, an action overlay appears in the top-right corner with several options:

⇄ Swap Sides

Exchanges the main view with the selected split view. This is useful when you want to promote a split view to become the main view.

↗ Detach

Creates a new bookmark from the view and opens it in a new tab. The view is removed from the split view, and if it was the main view, the first split view is promoted to main.

× Close

Removes the view from the split without creating a new bookmark. If you close the main view, the first split view is promoted to main. If you close all split views, the split view UI closes and you're left with just the main page.

⬌/⬍ Orientation Toggle

Changes the split direction between this view and the next view. Toggles between vertical (stacked) and horizontal (side-by-side).

Independent Navigation

Each view in a split can navigate independently:

All navigation is automatically tracked and saved in the bookmark. When you close and reopen the tab, all views restore to their last navigated URLs.

Limitations

⚠️ Note: Some websites cannot be loaded in split views due to security restrictions. If a site won't load in a split view, you can use the "Detach" action to open it in a separate tab instead.

Performance Tips

Each view loads a full web page, so memory usage scales with the number of views. If you have a large multi-view bookmark, consider using the "Separate Views" option from the context menu to split it into individual bookmarks.
