Organizing lots of identities without slowing down

Ghost Browser doesn’t set an artificial limit on identities, workspaces or profiles. The real limit is your computer’s memory and processor. The trick is keeping lots of identities organized, and only loading the ones you need.

A four-step setup

1. Start with one profile. Most people never need more. Add profiles only if you want several workspaces open at the same time.
2. Add your identities. Create them in the Identity Manager. An identity belongs to the profile it was created in.
3. Make workspaces around tasks. One per client, one for routine tasks, and one for priorities (today, this week, this month) is a good start.
4. Reuse identities across workspaces. Any permanent identity can be opened in any workspace in its profile, and it’s signed in to the same accounts wherever it’s open.

Keep it quick

• Load tabs only when you need them. Quick Tabs, built in, can hold back a workspace’s tabs until you click them. That keeps memory use down when a workspace has a lot of tabs.
• Run fewer profiles at once. Each one uses its own resources.
• Find identities fast. Tag identities by client or project, search by name, or sort by how often you use them.

When you need more at once

You can have up to 25 temporary identities open in a workspace. If you need more open at the same time, open a second workspace in another profile. With a big or second monitor, it’s a lot of accounts within reach.
