Profiles that keep your contexts separate
Switch between work, personal, and project contexts instantly. Each profile maintains its own data, logins, and browsing history.
Complete separation
Each profile has its own cookies, history, bookmarks, and saved passwords. Your work Google account never collides with your personal one.
Instant switching
Switch profiles with a single click or keyboard shortcut. No logging out, no clearing cookies, no browser restart. Just instant context changes.
Data isolation
Keep sensitive client work completely separate from personal browsing. Each profile is a sandbox that protects your data and privacy.
How profiles work
Separate browsing worlds for different parts of your life
Create a profile
Set up profiles for different areas of your life. A work profile with your corporate accounts, a personal profile for your own browsing, and project-specific profiles for clients or side projects.
Customize each profile
Log into different accounts in each profile. Your work profile might have your corporate Google Workspace, while your personal profile has your Gmail. Each maintains its own bookmarks, history, and saved passwords.
Switch instantly
Click the profile selector or use a keyboard shortcut to jump between contexts. No logging out, no clearing cookies. One moment you are in your work profile, the next you are in your personal space.
Who benefits from profiles
Anyone juggling multiple accounts or projects will find profiles essential
For freelancers
Create a profile for each client with their own logins, bookmarks, and tools. Switch from Client A's Slack to Client B's project management without any login conflicts.
For agencies
Manage multiple client social media accounts without the hassle of logging in and out. Each profile maintains its own session, so you can post as any client instantly.
For developers
Test applications with different user accounts simultaneously. One profile for admin testing, another for regular user testing, another for QA. No more incognito windows.
For remote workers
Maintain strict boundaries between work and personal browsing. Close your work profile at the end of the day and your personal profile takes over automatically.

Common questions
What is the difference between profiles and spaces?
Profiles are for completely separate browsing identities with isolated cookies and data. Spaces are for organizing tabs within a profile. Think of profiles as different user accounts on a computer, while spaces are different desktops for organizing your work.
Can I sync profiles across devices?
With Pola's cloud sync, your profiles and their data sync across all your Macs. Set up a profile on your work Mac, and it will be available on your home Mac with all the same logins, bookmarks, and settings.
How many profiles can I create?
Create as many profiles as you need. Many users have just two (work and personal), while freelancers might create a profile for each major client. Pola is designed to handle many profiles without any performance impact.
