Work better in your favorite web apps with Wavebox Navigator.
Can you imagine having an easy-to-use site map showing all your active web stuff? Welcome to Navigator.
Can you imagine having an easy-to-use site map showing all your active web stuff? Well, today, we're delighted to introduce Wavebox Navigator, a real-time window on your dynamic Wavebox world. Navigator displays thumbnails for all your active groups, apps, tabs, and windows in Wavebox so that you can do two things (1) better manage your computer's performance, and (2) navigate between apps and keep them tidy.
Manage computer performance.
From the Navigator window, you can see which app groups or browser windows are using the most CPU. Click on the speed-dial icon (top-left) to arrange apps by memory usage, with the largest square using the most CPU. You can also hover over any header to see how much memory that app/tab is using. Click on an X to close an app/tab, or click on the moon to sleep a group. And if you're concerned about performance in any way, click on the graph icon (top-right) to open the Task Manager for more details.
Navigate quickly across your apps.
In the Navigator you will see all your active stuff as thumbnails. The Navigator will show an image of the last seen content for that app, so if a thumbnail is blank, it usually means that an app is awake, but you haven't used it recently. Click on any app to go there, and click on the sleep icon or X to close apps and save memory. Navigator is a great way to keep everything tidy and stay on top of your open tabs and windows.
Summary of Navigator features.
