Once you have a few dozen chats, docs and images in He.art, finding your way back to one matters as much as making it. Two things help: every place in He.art has an address of its own, and, as of today, every browser tab tells you what is open in it.

Tabs that name what is open

Until this morning, a tab showed "He.art" whatever you had open in it. Now it works the way Google Docs does: the tab reads the title of what you are looking at, followed by "He.art".

  • A doc, a chat or an app shows its own title, for example "Trip to Lisbon - He.art". One you have not named yet shows "Untitled - He.art".
  • An image shows its title. Photo studio shows "Photo studio - He.art".
  • Each list shows its name: "Docs - He.art", "Chats - He.art", "Wallet - He.art", and so on.
  • Rename something and the tab changes as soon as the new title is in. Press Back and the tab follows you too.
  • The home page is still just "He.art".

This matters most when you keep several things open at once. With five He.art tabs, you can now see which one holds the doc you want without clicking through them all. Bookmarks and your browser's history pick up the same titles, so finding something there gets easier as well.

Addresses you can bookmark

Every list in He.art has a short address. Type it, bookmark it, or set it as your browser's start page:

he.art/all Everything you have: chats, docs, apps and images
he.art/chats Your chats only
he.art/docs Your docs only
he.art/apps Your apps only
he.art/photos Your images only
he.art/search Search your chats and documents
he.art/photo/new Photo studio, to make or edit an image
he.art/upload Upload images
he.art/wallet Every subscription you pay for
he.art/tools Free tools that run in your browser
he.art/blog This blog

If you live in Docs, bookmark he.art/docs and you land straight on your documents every time, with no stop at the chat box first.

Every item has an address too

Each thing you make has its own address, and the address says what it is:

  • a chat is he.art/chat/ followed by its id,
  • a doc is he.art/doc/ followed by its id,
  • an app is he.art/app/ followed by its id,
  • an image is he.art/photo/ followed by its id.

The id is seven letters and numbers, and it never changes, even when you rename the item. So a bookmark to a doc keeps working after you retitle it, and the tab shows the new title the next time you open it.

These are also the addresses you share. A link to something you have made private opens only for you; one you have shared opens for anyone with the link. When you paste a shared doc's link into a message, the preview shows the doc's own title, not just He.art's front page.

Back and Forward work as you expect

He.art is one page that changes in place, but it writes each step into your browser's history as you move. Open a doc from the sidebar, then a chat, then your image list, and Back takes you through them in reverse order. The address bar and the tab title change at each step.

Try it

Open He.art, open a doc or a chat, and look at your browser tab. Then bookmark he.art/docs or he.art/photos so that tomorrow you start where your work is.
