Organize tabs, saved pages, and folders

Crest uses a few distinct kinds of tab so temporary work and lasting structure do not become the same pile.

Current tabs​

An ordinary page appears in the current-tabs area. Close or archive it when finished, or let the Space’s cleanup policy move old unpinned tabs into Archive.

Pinned sites​

Pinned sites appear as a compact icon grid near the top of a Space. Use them for always-close destinations such as mail, calendar, or a dashboard. Choose Pin or Unpin Current Tab or press Command-D.

Saved tabs and saved locations​

A saved tab belongs to the durable sidebar, optionally inside a folder. Its saved location is a home URL: you can navigate away, then double-click the saved-location indicator or use the context menu to return home. The context menu can replace or reset that saved location.

Folders​

Folders can nest. Rename them, choose a color or symbol, collapse them, reorder their contents, and move a complete subtree without flattening it. Drag a tab into a folder to save it there.

Context-menu actions​

Right-click on Mac or touch and hold on iPhone and iPad. Depending on the item, Crest offers rename, pin, save, move to Space, add to Split View, duplicate, unload, Keep Loaded, close, archive, reset saved location, or delete.

Keep Loaded and unload​

Keep Loaded protects an important live page from ordinary unloading. It is useful for an unsaved editor, a live call, or a dashboard whose in-page state matters. Crest can still respond to genuine system memory pressure.

Choose Unload when you want to release a page but retain its tab. On Mac, middle-clicking a current tab closes it; middle-clicking a pinned or saved item unloads its page while keeping the durable item.
