It is a browser that once you take control of it, you will hardly be able to stop using it, it prevents you from having multiple profiles in other browsers for different cookies. The design is very innovative, I didn't think you could do so many flashy changes in a browser. Wavebox does it very cool.
At first the learning line is a bit complicated but once you learn to use it you can create an administration to your liking, you can create different cookies for different separate projects. It is very versatile, the truth is that I have been surprised to have found a browser like this. It saves me from creating multiple profiles in Google Chrome or Edge, using multiple cookies within a single browser is a huge advantage for people running different execution hubs.
The price is a bit expensive, I would have liked it to start from $9.99.I would also like you to add a widget to crop the area you want from a given page and only that area to be displayed in a widget just like arc browser does.
Hey Lenin, thanks for taking the time to leave your review - we really appreciate the feedback. It's wonderful to hear that our cookie containers enable you to manage all of your different web accounts and use your time more productively. ���� We're proud that you call Wavebox 'innovative'. Every day we push the boundaries of what a 'browser' can do, but we can only do that with the help from our subscribers - so thank you for supporting us! Regards, Susan and the team.

Webdock & Workflow possibilities.Sleep / pre-caching functionality.
Tabs drag functionality improvements (multi-window improvements).More tab split, maybe global fixed positioning or shortcut show/ hide, functionality.Currently, the RAM usage is still relatively high. Are there any ways to improve this?Google Translate Functionality (built-in and not from the extension).
Hey Semjon, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are always working on improving Wavebox and I've forwarded your suggestions to the team! ���� However, it does sound like Wavebox isn't performing correctly, so please get in touch with support so we can investigate and resolve this straight away for you.

This has been a game-changer for me. I remember using Shift when it came out originally for a similar purpose. This product is like Shift on STEROIDS. I'd never go back. And I'll never go back to Chrome, either. I was a person who had 5-10 Chrome WINDOWS open with several tabs in each. I do the same in Wavebox sometimes, sure, but WB puts all those tabs to sleep when I'm not using them, so I'm not killing my computer. I absolutely LOVE Wavebox!
Sleeping tabs, tab organization, the breakdown of each App and where it goes. SOOOOO many things! Customer service. The free trial.
I don't have a strong con coming to mine at the moment.
Hey Nia, thanks for taking the time to leave such an awesome review. To hear that you consider Wavebox a game-changer makes us so proud! �������� Thanks for supporting us with a subscription! Best wishes, Susan and the team.

I love it, and reccomend it to everyone. Chrome tabs are a nightmare with how disorganized they are and Wavebox brings order to that chaos, turning my previously 50+ tab windows into a much more manageable experience by putting the tabs into app categories automatically.
I love the tab management and apps. When i open a new tab/doc/jira/airtable/whatever it auto put it in the right app where it is categorically placed and easy to find and navigate.Split tab/screen within one window is also awesome and i use it a LOT.
Smart notes is a really cool concept but it needs work but I see a ton of potential. Some task management based on notes would be awesomeNotifications need a rework, they are not visible and not useful

My overall experience with Wavebox has been positive. As someone who uses multiple email accounts and web-based tools on a daily basis, I found Wavebox to be a great solution for streamlining my workflow. The ability to access all my email accounts in one place was a game-changer, and the customization options allowed me to tailor the software to my specific needs. For example: with every new customer, who insists on having account in their ecosystem, I create a new set of tabs and cookie container specific for this customer.Overall, I would recommend Wavebox to anyone looking for a powerful tool to streamline their workflow and consolidate their web-based tools and applications.
Wavebox.io is a powerful tool that allows users to streamline their workflow by consolidating all their web-based tools and applications into one interface. One of the best features of Wavebox is its ability to integrate seamlessly with multiple email providers, including Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook. This means that users can access all their email accounts from one place, making it easier to manage...
While Wavebox is a great tool for streamlining workflow, it does have a few drawbacks. One of the biggest issues is that it can be a bit resource-intensive, which can slow down your computer if you have too many tabs open. However, this one is solvable by using tab-sleep feature. Leaving tabs you really need in no-sleep mode solves the issue.Another downside is that Wavebox is not a free software. While it does offer a free trial, after that, users must pay a subscription fee to continue using the software. This may not be an issue for some users, but it could be a dealbreaker for those on a tight budget.
Hey Igor, thank you for taking the time to write such a comprehensive review of Wavebox. We are thrilled to hear that you are utilizing all of the browser's features, including managing multiple web accounts and customizing workflows to optimize your work. Please rest assured that we take all your comments on board and are working hard every day to ensure that Wavebox provides the best possible performance, regardless of how many apps and tabs you're using. Thank you for supporting us! Best wishes, Susan and the team.

Managing multiple online stores can be a headache. Sometimes you have multiple emails and multiple logins for the same websites and you can come in the mistake of forgetting to log out and log in to the correct account. This app helps me SO MUCH by creating groups and with a simple click I enter the same website and I'll be logged in to the correct account. Thank you wavebox you make my life easier....
At the beginning can be a little complex. Would like it to have less options so people worry less about settings and more into using the actual software.
Hey Sebastian, thanks for taking the time to leave such a detailed and enthusiastic review! No need to thank us for making your life easier - it's an absolute pleasure and we love doing what we do, which is helping teams be more productive at work. Best wishes, Susan and the team.

I have tested many productivity-oriented browsers and Wavebox is the most successful in terms of built-in features. Many applications can be integrated and if one is not listed, you can add it easily.The team has developed some very useful extensions, but since it's based on Chromium, you can use all the third-party Chrome extensions.
At beginning all concepts of profiles, cookies containers, workspaces, webdocks, widgets ... were many things to manage and configure correctly.
Thanks for taking the time to write such a great review, and we totally agree—Wavebox can take a little bit of time to get started, but once you are setup, the productivity and time-saving benefits make it totally worth the wait!! Thanks for supporting us! Regards, Susan and the team.

I'm a full-time employee as well as a homeschooling mom, and in my "free" time I help my husband with administrative tasks for his business and volunteer on a board. At any given time, there are no fewer than 20 different tasks running through my brain. Wavebox allows me to open links, to-dos, interesting articles, etc in separate workspaces so that I can toggle between them, hide them when they're not relevant, and focus on the work that's right in front of me without being distracted by the other open tasks (or worrying about whether I'm going to forget something). It truly has been a life — and brain — saver!
I first began exploring Wavebox for the ability to use multiple cookie containers so that I wasn't having to constantly log in and out of various accounts. But the organizational structure of multiple groups, workspaces, and tabs has worked so well for my brain — and become second nature to use — that I can't imagine ever going back.
It's not always clear what will happen when you drag an app or tab, and I find that functionality to be a little temperamental. Not enough to detract from the benefits, though!

Ability to access many different application within seconds. I have many applications and place on the web I go to daily and Wavebox makes my organization and access seamless. Love the fact I sync with all my computer! I CANNOT FUNCTION without Wavebox. It's like a piece of me after more than 3 years use.
I cannot think of anything at this time.
Hey Bud, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. To say Wavebox is the 'best productivity application you have ever used', ����, just blows us away and makes all the hard work worthwhile. Thanks also for your ✊ 3-year subscription (wow!) We simply cannot do what we do without the support from Waveboxers. Best wishes, Susan and the team.

Wavebox really does make my day-to-day work so much better. I work with clients on a monthly retainer basis and have tons of applications, platforms, and accounts to log in to each day. It's been so helpful having each client, my own business, and my personal stuff all separated nicely. I don't have to worry about mixing anything up. I'm less likely to get distracted so I can stay on task and be more productive with my work hours.
Wavebox really does what it says - makes me more organized, less overwhelmed, and more productive. I absolutely love how customizable it is. From simple things like colors and icons to the big stuff like the actual layout of the entire workspace. It works well with every single app/platform/tool I use. I love Smart Notes, its split-screen capability, it works with Chrome extensions... the list goes on. And I don't know that I've even used every single feature yet. It's just so robust AND it doesn't slow my computer down.
There was definitely a bit of a learning curve at first. I ended up totally scrapping my initial setup with how I grouped things because I realized it was not functioning the best way for *my* brain and the way I work. The customizability is amazing but it also means you can easily set things up in ways that may not be the best for how each individual works.Also, maybe I missed something in the settings but I couldn't figure out how to not literally mute everything while in Focus Mode. I turned Focus Mode on to stop pop-up notifications of new emails, but then I'd go into a Google Meet meeting and have no audio. I'd like an option to not have notifications pop-up/sounds but still have audio in my apps within Wavebox.

Perfect. The support is GREAT, they are kind and whenever a tiny bug arised, I just asked them and they helped me out. And they are also quite open when it comes to new features suggestions! <3
We all use so many software, platforms, apps...Having all of them neatly organized in a SINGLE app is much better. I know, you might say "I can simply bookmark my web apps and use them inside my browsers, what's the difference?". There are so many! 1) Evertything in one place --> I simply LOVE having all of my apps in the very same place. No more mixing browsing websites for research and apps! 2)...
Seriously? Nothing :) Or maybe...not having a single "search all my accounts files and messages". But that means a "magic wizard", a digital miracle. Think they are working on it :)

I have been amazed with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and Wavebox for as long as I've been using the software. There aren't too many software products that are a MUST HAVE in my opinion, but I can tell you this - Wavebox is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL if your work involves doing ANYTHING on the internet with multiple accounts and/or multiple clients. This product WILL save you precious time and frustration keeping your accounts organized.
As our nonprofit began helping more and more nonprofits with the migration to cloud-based services, keeping all the various user accounts separated into Chrome profiles was fast becoming unwieldly. I tried several other browsers but none could hold a candle to the power and productivity of Wavebox.
At the moment - not really. Every time I think I find something that can be improved, I'm reading the latest Release Notes and the staff have already addressed it! I reached out to the Support team just a few weeks ago and within hours [SENSITIVE CONTENT] responded with a quick note stating my feature request would be included in the next release. Not just months and months down the pipeline - but within a week.
Hey Gary, thanks for your wonderful review. Yep, we work hard to provide fast and friendly support for every user, and we love getting feature requests! We always try to get them in a release as soon as we can! ���� Thanks for supporting us. Best wishes from everyone at Wavebox HQ.

The biggest benefit with Wavebox is it saves an incredible amount of time with your workflow. You don't need to have multiple apps open on your computer, this keeps them all open at once and you can easily navigate amongst them (for example, I use gmail, google drive and calendar, Airtable, Slack, Google photos and Milanote. You can also have multiple tabs for one app and keep yourself logged in (for example, I have 3 gmail logins that I can stay logged into and not have to log in/out.)
No need to sign in/out of multiple logins across different apps and within the same app (e.g. multiple gmail logins). Tutorials are available and customer service is fantastic.
The setup takes a little bit of getting used to. Watch their tutorial when you first download Wavebox and you'll be all set!
Hey Teresa, thanks for taking the time to leave such a great review! We agree that it takes a little bit of time to set up, but the best things come to those who wait eh! ���� It sounds like Wavebox is helping you to save time by staying signed-in to lots of web accounts, and faster navigation - thanks for supporting us and sharing your experience. Best wishes, Susan and the team.

It just really allows you to isolate your workspaces. I had found myself doing too much multi-tasking rather than getting things done because I was getting all of my notifications all the time. Wavebox lets you get to work quickly when you're ready and then shut it down when you need to focus on other things, it's really flexible and worth considering if you are using a bunch of different Chrome logins to keep your online identities apart.
Everything is in one place. I work for a non-profit organisation as a volunteer, so it's incredibly useful to have all of my logins for all of the different web management and social media tools somewhere that doesn't interfere with my other work.
It just takes a while to figure out the best way to set everything up. You can put EVERYTHING in there, which means there are a ton of options. Workflows are complicated and putting your tools in a new dashboard just takes time.
Hey Ben, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Yep, having everything in one place makes it easy to organize and manage everything! We've just added Wavebox Profiles, so you can setup multiple Waveboxes for different businesses/projects/work/home etc. Get in touch to try them out now! Thanks again, Best wishes from the Wavebox Team.

Wavebox se volvió mi sistema operativo. No tengo nada fuera de Wavebox. Me ayuda a organizar mi trabajo, a separar mis asuntos personales, y hasta a organizar las cuentas de mis clientes. El manejo de perfiles y la funcionalidad de "Sandbox" me ayudan enormemente. El equipo de soporte super bien y el crecimiento de la aplicación es increíble. Todo el tiempo lanzan mejoras y funcionalidades nuevas. Ya no puedo tener una computadora sin Wavebox.

I've been using Wavebox since 2017. It's become an important part of my workflow and productivity. I have two jobs, each of which requires me to use different accounts and apps. Wavebox allows me to centralize all my communications apps in one place. It's become pretty essential to my productivity at this point!

Because it's a browser-based service, apps like Teams aren't optimized. The price has also climbed quite a bit over the years.

Wavebox allows me to remove the 30+ tabs I had open in my browser and have them all in one screen with easy navigation and logos to quickly navigate each programme.

Overall user experience is great with wavebox,when setup it really does save you a lot of time so it could actually be classed as a good time saving product.Highly recommended and quite cost efficient.
The things that i like about wavebox the most are the individual tabs and sections that you can create,you can create a folder like structure in your browser which is very usable indeed.I also like that the browser is updated very regularly indeed,it shows that the developer cares about there product.I also like the way that you can add your own appl;ications as well which means you dont have to leave your browser to go to say one of your desktop applications.It saves time switching between them.Overall very happy indeed.
I would probably like to see more extensions available in wavebox as there are competitors out there which have some applications that wavebox doesnt have-e.g. roundcube email which i use on a daily basis,apart from that there is really nothing i could say that is negative about wavebox.

My productivity was highly enhanced by Wavebox. I work as an academic mentor and blogger. By using Wavebox, I can separate as many profiles as I want. In one of them, I set up my academic apps, which I use to conduct research and write papers. In another one, I use my personal profiles and can quickly check my emails, use my homebanking services and so on. In a third tab, I use my mentoring-specific apps, including the services I use to talk to my mentees during the sessions.
Wavebox team of developers made an excellent work. This is best than any regular browser, as it consumes less resources than Chrome, and its app-based system of organizing websites inside cookie-specific profiles boosts enormously my productivity.
There is nothing I do not like in the software. It is highly customizable and fits all my needs.
Hey Fabio, thanks for the wonderful review. It's great to hear that Wavebox is helping you to be more productive, for both home and work.

I am surprised that it has been such an exceptional boost to my daily productivity and operation.
I was looking for a productivity tool for a client that would create a "dashboard" environment and simplify his life. I have found it so incredibly helpful and has enhanced my productivity exponentially. I truly will keep using this product indefinitely!
The only drawback to me is that there isnt an ipad and iphone app. I like the browser so much, I want to use it on all my devices.

Empecé a usar Wavebox porque mi suscripción a otro producto terminó y lo descubrí en un artículo.Mi experiencia ha sido excelente, el navegador es rápido, las aplicaciones funcionan perfectamente, los espacios de trabajo son muy útiles para diferentes proyectos.Ya implementé un par de flujos de trabajo que me permitieron ahorrar mucho tiempo y también me permitieron concentrarme en la tarea en cuestión.Utilizo varias cuentas de Gmail y sandboxing, y permitirme tener varias instancias de Gmail ejecutándose a la vez es genial. (Lo mismo con twitter, asana, whatsapp, insta, etc).El soporte es rápido y muy bueno.En este momento, es la única aplicación que uso en mi computadora.
Manejo de diferentes perfiles y diferentes instancias para gmail, instagram, twitter, whatsapp, etc.Los workspaces son muy buenos para dividir tus proyectos y así tener todo concentrado en un solo lugar.
Es un contra pero no del software, pero me gustaría que todas las aplicaciones pudieran correr en Cloud para incorporarlas a Wavebox.
