Wavebox

Wavebox is a Chromium-based desktop browser designed for professionals, teams, and virtual assistants who need to manage multiple web accounts and apps simultaneously. Built in the UK and self-described as independent of big tech and not VC-funded, it targets the productivity gap left by standard browsers when juggling dozens of SaaS tools. The current stable release is v150.2.131, published July 15, 2026, keeping parity with the latest Chromium version on a roughly four-week major release cycle.

What It Is

Wavebox is a full desktop browser — available for macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows, and Linux — that replaces the need to run multiple browser profiles or switch between browsers to stay signed in to different accounts. It layers a productivity-focused interface on top of Chromium: cookie containers for multi-account sign-in, customizable spaces and groups, per-group tab strips, split-screen views, and a unified notification/badge system. The GitHub repository describes it as "built for productive working across Google Workspaces, Microsoft Teams, ClickUp, Monday, Atlassian, Asana, AirTable, Slack, and every other web app you use to get work done."

Core Platform Capabilities

Wavebox organizes work around Spaces and Groups, each with its own tab strip, so different clients, projects, or contexts stay visually separated:

• Multi-account sign-in via cookie containers — stay logged into multiple Gmail, Outlook, Teams, Slack, or Asana accounts at once without switching profiles
• Split screen — split any app or tab into resizable panes, including two accounts of the same service side by side
• Tab management — tab sleep/suspension, tab search, tab sessions (save and restore sets of tabs), and focus mode
• Unified notifications — unread badges and desktop notifications across all signed-in accounts; the Wavebox Mini menu aggregates webmail, messaging, and collaboration tools in one list
• Dashboards and widgets — customizable new-tab dashboards with a widget library
• Chrome Web Store extensions — access to 150,000+ extensions plus 20+ built-in extensions
• Secure password sharing — end-to-end encrypted master password for team templates

Built-in AI: Brainbox

Wavebox includes a built-in AI assistant called Brainbox, available in the context of any open app or tab. Pre-built skills are accessible from the page right-click menu, and users can create custom skills. The feature supports multiple AI engines and can be disabled entirely for users who prefer not to use it.

Teams and Remote Management

The Teams tier adds Wavebox Live, a remotely managed browser configuration for organizations. Admins can push a pre-configured browser setup to new hires, which the product page describes as particularly useful for virtual assistant agencies and complex multi-client setups. Teams also includes Connect (browser-to-browser direct messaging and screenshare), shared dashboards, and consolidated billing managed from a single admin account.

Audience and Use Cases

Wavebox targets several distinct audiences: founders and solo professionals managing many SaaS tools, virtual assistants running 10–15 client accounts, agencies coordinating campaigns across multiple client logins, and education or non-profit organizations (the pricing page states a 70% discount is available for both groups). The homepage states that "120,000+ professionals in every industry" use Wavebox, per vendor-published claims.

Update: v150.2.131 Stable

The latest stable release is v150.2.131, published July 15, 2026. Wavebox tracks Chromium releases closely, issuing major updates approximately every four weeks. A beta channel is also available for users who want early access to upcoming features. The GitHub repository (issues and releases only — source is not fully open) has been active since 2017, with the current Chromium-based Wavebox 10 architecture launched in 2019 as a complete fork from the earlier Electron-based Wavebox Classic.
