Getting Started

Install TabSlate

Get TabSlate from an official browser store, or build and load it from source.

From an official browser store

TabSlate is published on three official extension stores:

Install from whichever store matches your browser, then open a new tab. TabSlate replaces your browser's default new-tab page, so the workspace opens automatically — there is nothing else to launch.

No Safari version

TabSlate does not currently publish a Safari extension. Use Chrome, Edge, or Firefox instead.

Build from source

TabSlate is open source. To build and load it yourself:

git clone https://github.com/TabSlate-dev/TabSlate.git
cd TabSlate
bun install
bun run build

Then open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, choose Load unpacked, and select the .output/chrome-mv3 folder the build created. Microsoft Edge uses the same Chromium extension format, so the same unpacked folder also loads from edge://extensions.

TabSlate's build scripts also include a Firefox target (bun run build:firefox); check the project's own README for the most current steps to load a Firefox build, since its output layout is not covered here.

Requires Bun

Building from source uses Bun, not npm or yarn — the project's scripts assume the bun command is available.

Next step

Continue to Quick Start to set up your first workspace.
