Strawberry supports normal browser tab workflows, plus AI-aware sidebars that help you move between pages, chats, and companion work.

Tab layouts

Open strawberry://settings/theme to choose a tab layout:
  • Classic: tabs across the top of the browser.
  • Modern: tabs in a sidebar, with access to search for tabs and chats.

Chat sidebar

Press Cmd/Ctrl + E to toggle the chat sidebar. Use it to start chats, revisit previous sessions, check running routines, and open companion work. Routines can appear in the sidebar when they are scheduled, running, listening, or need your input. Press Cmd + Shift + A on macOS or Ctrl + Shift + A on Windows. Universal Search helps you find:
  • Open tabs
  • Recent tabs
  • Chats
  • Sidebar history
Use chips to filter to tabs or chats. Click an active chip again to return to all results.

Bookmarks

Open the Bookmark Manager at strawberry://bookmarks. Set bookmarks bar visibility in Appearance at strawberry://settings/theme. You can:
  • Show the bookmarks bar always, only on the new tab page, or never.
  • Search and manage bookmark folders.
  • Right-click a tab to add or move it to a bookmark folder.
  • Use the bookmark manager shortcut: Cmd + Option + B on macOS or Ctrl + Shift + O on Windows.

Picture-in-Picture

When Auto Picture-in-Picture for YouTube is on, Strawberry moves a playing YouTube video into a floating mini player when you switch to another tab. Switching to a different window does not trigger it. To turn it off, go to strawberry://settings/theme -> Picture-in-Picture and switch off Auto Picture-in-Picture for YouTube. The setting is on by default and syncs across your devices.

Best practices

  • Use Modern if you prefer browsing tabs in a sidebar.
  • Use Universal Search instead of scanning long tab lists.
  • Use profiles to separate website sign-ins and browsing data. Check connected app accounts separately, since built-in connections are shared across profiles.
