Description
Split your tab into 2 or 4 panes. Panes turns one Chrome tab into a 2- or 4-pane workspace. Read documentation while you code. Compare two long articles side by side. Keep email, calendar, and chat visible at the same time. Watch a tutorial in one pane and follow along in another. Tail a dashboard while you work. Each pane is a real, interactive web page — scrollable, clickable, and logged in. Most sites work normally inside a pane: GitHub, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, Wikipedia, Reddit, and most docs sites. A few sites (banks, some Google apps) refuse to be framed — one click pops them out into a regular tab. WHY INSTALL PANES • Stop alt-tabbing. See two or four pages at once. • One tab does the job of two windows. Reclaim screen space without a second monitor. • Keyboard-first. Open a split, switch layouts, and focus panes without touching the mouse. • Never stuck. Pop any pane out into a normal tab whenever you want. GETTING STARTED Press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+S (or click the toolbar icon) to open a split. Your current page preloads into the first pane. Click any pane to focus it — the bottom bar (URL, back/forward, pop-out) always drives the focused pane. PRIVACY Panes collects no data. Nothing leaves your device. The only thing stored locally is your last-used layout. Open source under Apache-2.0.
