Question

I usually work with multiple Safari windows open. Each has multiple tabs. Each window is a particular theme. Is there a way to name these windows so I can easily navigate between them?

Or is there an app that can do it or at least provide a work around?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Safari names the window according to what tab is the frontmost (or selected) tab. And it gets that info from the web page itself.

You may be able to go into developer mode, and edit the HTML title attribute on a current web page (not sure, never tried this) but as the name of the window changes with what tab is selected not sure you would find this acceptable.

OTHER TIPS

This is a workaround, not a solution, and probably very obvious for most.

I put a tab leftmost in the window and do a DuckDuckGo search for what I would want to title the window, usually with a number at the front. So, for example "1 Running" "2 Career Coaching" "3 Bagpipes". As long as I remember to click into that tab before I switch away (easily the biggest problem with this workaround), it works pretty well, and I would say I manage some 60-70% of the time.
