## What it is
Station is an open-source Electron-based smart browser that centralizes all your web applications (Slack, Gmail, Google Drive, and 600+ others) into a single desktop workspace. It groups pages by app in a smart dock, supports multi-account logins, unified search, notification controls, and intelligently sleeps inactive apps to save resources.

## Use cases
- manage all my web apps in one desktop app instead of browser tabs
- log into multiple Gmail or Slack accounts at the same time
- mute notifications from specific apps while keeping others active
- search across all my web apps and documents from one place
- reduce CPU and memory usage from too many open tabs
- use Chrome extensions like 1Password inside a desktop workspace
- organize SaaS apps into a dock grouped by application

## When to choose
- you juggle many web apps and suffer from tab overload
- you need multiple accounts of the same service side by side
- you want a privacy-respecting workspace (no tracking or data collection)
- you want a free, open-source alternative to proprietary workspace browsers

## When to avoid
- you only use one or two web apps and a regular browser suffices
- you need a fully general-purpose browser with full web compatibility
- you require cutting-edge Chromium features or heavy extension ecosystems
- you need a project with very active recent development
