Monitor-aware layouts
Use halves, thirds, quarters, 25/50/25, 66/33, 33/66, or your own custom column split on each display.
Chrome extension
Stop rearranging Chrome windows by hand.
ScreenTabs turns one or multiple monitors into reusable zones. Snap Chrome windows into place and save the workspace you use every day. Pro adds YouTube/video focus and fullscreen-style tools for keeping playback in its own area without taking over your entire monitor.
Available now on the Chrome Web Store.
Features
Built for the browser-heavy desk.
Use ScreenTabs when Chrome's basic split view is not enough and you want repeatable layouts across real monitors.
One-click snapping
Move the current Chrome window into a zone instead of dragging and resizing it by hand every time.
Saved workspaces
Save the Chrome windows you use together and restore them later alongside what is open or after replacing the current workspace.
Video Focus Pro
Pro can put supported video sites into a focused Chrome popup so the player fills its assigned area without taking over the entire monitor.
Tab management
Activate, close, pin, move, and drag tabs between Chrome windows or displays from one manager.
Privacy-first local state
Workspace and restore data stay in Chrome local storage. Your saved tab lists are not uploaded to ScreenTabs.
Chrome split screen
Chrome handles two pages. ScreenTabs handles the desk around them.
Chrome's built-in two-page split view is useful when two pages are all you need. ScreenTabs adds multi-zone layouts, multiple Chrome windows, per-monitor zones, and reusable workspaces. Pro adds YouTube/video focus and fullscreen-style playback tools. It organizes Chrome windows only. It does not create virtual displays or manage desktop apps.
Layouts
Pick the split that fits each monitor.
Choose a preset or make a 2- or 3-column custom layout such as 20/60/20. Each physical display can have its own arrangement.
Management
Windows, tabs, monitors, and workspaces in one place.
See your focused window, displays, tabs, and saved workspaces together. Move Chrome windows between monitors or restore a setup you use repeatedly.

Questions
Short answers
How do I install ScreenTabs?
Install ScreenTabs directly from the Chrome Web Store. After installation, pin ScreenTabs to the Chrome toolbar for quick access.
Is ScreenTabs free?
Yes. Core window, tab, layout, and manual workspace tools are free. YouTube/video fullscreen-style focus tools are Pro features. Pro is a $24 lifetime upgrade.
Is YouTube/video fullscreen included for free?
No. Video Focus and ScreenTabs' fullscreen-style playback tools are part of Pro.
Do I need an account?
No account is required for the core free organization features. An account is used for the Pro purchase and for account-backed layouts and settings.
Does it upload my tabs?
No. Open windows and tabs are read so ScreenTabs can organize and restore them, but saved workspace and restore state stay in chrome.storage.local. See the privacy page.
Does it work with one monitor?
Yes. Layouts and zones work on a single display. Multiple monitors simply let you assign a different layout to each physical screen.
How is this different from Chrome split view?
Chrome's built-in split view is great for two pages in one window. ScreenTabs adds reusable multi-zone layouts, multiple Chrome windows, monitor-specific arrangements, and saved workspaces. Pro adds video focus and fullscreen-style playback tools.
Is Pro a subscription?
No. ScreenTabs Pro is a $24 lifetime purchase. Sign in to your ScreenTabs account, complete checkout, then use the same account in the extension.
Can ScreenTabs move non-Chrome apps?
No. ScreenTabs is intentionally a Chrome extension and manages Chrome windows and tabs, not Windows or macOS applications.
