Two surfaces, one brain

Unscrambled Tabs gives you two views of the same data:
  • The side panel β€” a slim companion that docks beside any page. Built for the everyday moves: switch workspace, glance at open tabs, ask the AI, tweak a setting.
  • The dashboard β€” a full browser tab with room to spread out. Built for organising: folders, drag-and-drop, bulk clean-ups, and the tabs-and-resources view of each workspace.
Anything you do in one shows up in the other instantly.

The side panel

Click the Unscrambled Tabs icon in your toolbar and the side panel opens. From top to bottom: The header carries four small buttons: The view switcher underneath has three tabs β€” Workspaces, AI Assistant, and Search:
  • Workspaces is home: your Open Tabs section pinned at the top (by default), then Active and Pinned workspaces, folders, and the active workspace’s resources. New creates a workspace; the folder icon creates a folder.
  • AI Assistant is the chat β€” with a small toggle in its header to flip between AI and Search.
  • Search finds workspaces, open tabs, saved tabs, and resources as you type.
(If you’ve set Open Tabs to Dedicated tab in Settings, an Open Tabs view joins the switcher too.) The side panel is also where the pop-up helpers live: the bill-capture banner, the Alt+A quick switcher, and the Alt+D save-to-workspace picker.

The dashboard

Click Open Dashboard in the side panel header. (After you first install, the dashboard opens itself as a pinned tab so it’s ready when you are.) It has three regions:

The sidebar β€” rail or expanded

By default the sidebar is a slim icon rail: Open Tabs at the top (with a live count of your tabs), your pinned workspaces as one-click icons, then an icon per folder β€” hover one and its workspaces fan out in a flyout. At the bottom: New folder, New workspace, and the theme toggle. Want the full list? Click the expand button (or press ⌘\ / Ctrl+\) to pin the sidebar open: Open Tabs, your Active workspace, the Pinned section, and every folder with its workspaces β€” this expanded view is where drag-and-drop reordering and bulk actions happen.

The main area

Pick Open Tabs and the main area becomes the full Open Tabs view. Pick a workspace and you get its two panes, side by side: Drag the divider between them to resize the split β€” the dashboard remembers your preference. Above the panes, the workspace header shows its name and counts, a Search button (or just press /), the theme toggle, and β€” when you’re looking at a workspace your window isn’t using β€” a Switch to this workspace button.

The AI dock

Along the bottom sits the AI composer, always one glance away: type into β€œHow can I help you today?” and press Enter, or tap a suggestion chip. Click Open chat (or just start chatting) and the full assistant expands over the page; Esc tucks it away again. It’s the same one chat as the side panel β€” same conversation, same memory. See AI assistant & search.

Which one should I use?

Honestly: both. Keep the side panel for driving β€” switching, saving, asking β€” and pop into the dashboard when it’s tidy-up time. A common rhythm is dashboard on Monday morning (organise the week into workspaces), side panel the rest of the week (live in them).
