The workspace
The sidebar, the session strip, the dock and the who-row.
What it's for
Four pieces of chrome never go away, whatever screen you're on: the sidebar, the who-row, the strip of open Sessions, and the session dock. Learn these once and the app stops having corners. This page is the tour.
The sidebar — where things live
The sidebar down the left edge is primary navigation. It never holds Sessions; it switches the work surface behind them. Every destination is named, and the groups say when you'd come to each.
The groups are real, not a hairline between rows: each is announced to a screen reader, and focus order walks them exactly as the eye does. Search commands and Notifications live in the title bar, top right.
The who-row — whose Account is live
Above the groups, the who-row carries the one fact you can't afford to get wrong: which Account is live right now. It shows the Account's colour, monogram and name, and — when a screen is covering the live page — the line back to its session.
This is the guard against the cardinal error: acting in the wrong Account. The row is also a button. From any screen it means back to the live page; with nothing open, it starts a new session.
The Session strip — your open browsers
Along the top sits the strip of open Sessions. Each carries its Account's name and colour dot, plus live ambient status during a drop — a queue pill with an advancing or slipping arrow, a cart timer, a Shopify race dot. The race dot's own tooltip says it plainly: status is observed; Umbra never auto-buys.
The + button opens a new Session, and it names the identity you'll get — a new Session in the active Account, or "home internet (no account)" when there's nothing to inherit. A second Session on the same Account isn't a second identity.
The session dock — tools beside the page
On the right, a drawer sits beside the live page without covering it: the tools a drop operator reaches for without leaving the site.
Each panel's Manage … link jumps to its own page in the sidebar, where the complete list lives.
Search — the fastest way to anything
The Search field in the title bar, or ⌘K, opens one box that finds three kinds of thing at once.
Destinations answer to every name the app gives them, so proxy and connections both reach the same screen. What you actually typed the name of always ranks above something merely related to it, and Accounts appear only once you have typed something, so an empty box stays the short list of what Umbra can do.
