Tab folders that actually stay organized
Stop drowning in tabs. Pola's persistent folder system keeps your projects, research, and workflows perfectly organized in the sidebar.
Persistent organization
Your folders stay exactly where you left them. Unlike other browsers that lose your tabs on restart, Pola remembers your folder structure forever.
Project-based grouping
Create folders for each project, client, or area of focus. Switch between contexts without losing your place or mixing up unrelated work.
Instant access
All your folders live in the sidebar, always visible and one click away. No more digging through hundreds of tabs to find what you need.
How tab folders work
A simpler way to think about browser organization
Create a folder
Right-click in the sidebar and create a new folder. Give it a name that matches your project, client, or topic. You're building your own organization system.
Add tabs to your folder
Drag tabs into folders, or right-click any tab to move it. You can organize existing tabs or open new ones directly in a folder. The browser remembers exactly where everything belongs.
Access anytime
Your folders persist across sessions, restarts, and even crashes. Come back tomorrow, next week, or next month. Your organized tabs will be right there waiting.
Who benefits from tab folders
Different workflows, same organizational solution
For developers
Keep documentation, GitHub repos, staging environments, and API references organized by project. Never lose that Stack Overflow solution again.
For researchers
Group sources by topic, save articles for later reading, and maintain context across deep research sessions. Your knowledge stays organized.
For marketers
Separate client work, campaign assets, analytics dashboards, and competitor research. Each client gets their own organized space.
For designers
Collect inspiration, reference materials, client feedback, and design tools in dedicated folders. Your creative process stays streamlined.

| Feature | Traditional browsers | Pola Browser |
|---|---|---|
| Tab persistence | Tabs lost on restart or crash | Folders and tabs persist forever |
| Organization method | Horizontal tabs or basic groups | Nested folders in sidebar |
| Visual clutter | Dozens of tabs crowded at top | Clean sidebar with collapsible folders |
| Context switching | Manual tab hunting | One-click folder access |
Common questions
Are folders synced across devices?
Yes. With Pola's cloud sync feature (available in premium plans), your folder structure syncs across all your Macs via Google Drive. Start organizing on one machine, continue seamlessly on another.
Can I nest folders inside other folders?
Pola supports a flat folder structure designed for clarity and quick access. Each folder is a top-level project container. For deeper organization, combine folders with Spaces (another Pola feature) to create completely separate browsing contexts.
What happens to my folders if I close the browser?
Nothing. Your folders persist forever. Close Pola, restart your Mac, or experience an unexpected shutdown. When you return, every folder and tab will be exactly where you left it. That's the point of persistent organization.
