stramus — tab collections

Save your open tabs into collections on a new tab page that is entirely yours. Search, sort and reopen them in one keystroke.

Your new tab page, with your tabs on it. stramus turns the page you open twenty times a day into the place where the pages you actually use are kept. Save the tabs you have open into a collection, give it a name, and close them without losing them. Everything is stored on your own machine, and it works that way with no account at all — sign in only if you want the same collections on your other browser. Save your open tabs. The tab pane lists every tab in every window. Drag one into a collection, or save a whole window at once. A tab that is saved can be closed on the spot — that is the point. Save a page without opening stramus. A keyboard shortcut, a right-click, or the toolbar button saves the page you are on — or any link on it — from whatever tab you are in. It says “saved” there and then, and becomes a card the next time you open stramus. Organise them the way you think. Sections in the sidebar hold collections; collections hold cards; cards can be grouped under headings of your own. Everything is drag-and-drop, and anything undone by accident can be undone. Cards are not only links. A card can be a link, a note written in Markdown, or a file — an image, a PDF, whatever you drop on it — kept in the collection along with the links it belongs with. Find it in one keystroke. The search box searches your cards, your open tabs and your browsing history at once, and ranks what it finds by what you actually open. An empty box already shows your top sites. If what you typed is a search rather than a page, it goes to your own default search engine. Ask the browser’s own model. Where Chrome has an on-device model, the search box will ask it — in a window over your collection, on your machine, with nothing sent anywhere. Prefer a web assistant? Choose ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude in the settings, and your question opens in a chat with them instead. Keep some of it to yourself. A section can be locked with a PIN, so that what is behind it is not on screen when you share it. Make it yours. Five themes, each with a light and a dark half, an accent colour of your own, and a background behind the app — a gradient, or a picture you pick. Mark a collection with a glyph in a colour, or an emoji. Two card densities and three corner radii, if you care about that sort of thing. And the rest of it. Eleven interface languages, from English to Turkish. Import from your bookmarks, a CSV file, a OneTab export or a Toby one; export back to bookmarks or CSV, or take the whole database as a single backup file. Still frames for saved videos, off until you switch them on. Tab sorting. A favicon cache, so your links keep their icons offline. Private by construction. No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking, no advertising — with or without an account. Without one, none of your data leaves your machine: your collections have no server to go to. With an account they are synced so your other browser can have them, and nothing else is: your browsing statistics stay on this machine unless you switch that on yourself, and your browser history is never uploaded. It reads your tabs and your history because that is what a tab manager does, and it reads them in the moment, without keeping a copy. Site icons come from your browser’s own icon store, so a site you have visited is drawn without asking anyone. For a site you have not visited, the icon is fetched by our server on your behalf — anonymously, with no account attached and nothing logged — rather than by handing your saved hosts to a public icon service one request at a time. A PIN on a section keeps it off your screen; it is not encryption, and it does not hide the section from the server. The privacy policy says so plainly, and says what else an account means. New in 1.4.0. Saving a page without opening stramus — which is why this version asks for three permissions it did not before: storage, to hold what you saved until stramus is open; contextMenus, for the two right-click entries; notifications, for the “saved” that follows. Themes, accent colours and backgrounds. Marks for collections. Still frames for saved videos, off by default. Import from OneTab and Toby. A backup file holding the whole database, and a way back in if the browser ever refuses to open it. Privacy policy: https://stramus.space/privacy.html Source code: https://github.com/olluorg/stramus
