Floating tabs that stay visible while you work
Turn any tab into an always-on-top floating window. Perfect for tutorials, video calls, monitoring dashboards, or keeping reference material visible.
Always on top
Your floating tab stays visible above all other windows. Watch tutorials while coding, keep a video call visible during presentations, or monitor a dashboard while working.
Flexible positioning
Drag and resize the floating tab to fit your workflow. Position it in a corner, stretch it across monitors, or keep it compact. The window adapts to your needs.
True multitasking
Work in your main browser window while keeping important content visible. Reference documentation, watch training videos, or monitor analytics without tab switching.
How floating tabs work
Open any tab
Navigate to the content you want to keep visible. This could be a YouTube tutorial, a video call, a monitoring dashboard, or any web page you need to reference while working.
Make it float
Click the floating tab button or use the keyboard shortcut. The tab detaches into its own always-on-top window. Your main browser stays intact, and the floating window remains visible above all other apps.
Position and work
Drag the floating window to your preferred position and resize it to fit your setup. Continue working in other applications while your important content stays visible. Close it when you are done.

Common questions
Can any tab become a floating tab?
Yes. Any tab in Pola can be converted to a floating tab with one click. Whether it is a video, a document, a chat application, or a dashboard, the content will work perfectly in the floating window.
Does the floating tab stay on top of full-screen apps?
Floating tabs stay on top of normal windows but respect full-screen applications. This prevents interference when you are presenting or watching something in full-screen mode. You can always recall the floating tab when you exit full-screen.
Can I have multiple floating tabs at once?
Absolutely. Create as many floating tabs as you need. Monitor a chat window while watching a tutorial, all while working in your main browser. Each floating tab is independent and can be positioned separately across your screen or multiple monitors.
