Cat Tabs

Turn Chrome tab groups into focused workspaces — one group open at a time, plus a dashboard for snapshots and quick access.

WORK IN PROJECTS, NOT TABS Cat Tabs turns Chrome's built-in Tab Groups into focused workspaces. Open one project and the rest fold away automatically, so your tab strip stays calm no matter how many groups you keep — then run everything from one dashboard. WHY CAT TABS Most of us aren't trying to "manage tabs." We're juggling several projects, contexts, and tools at once — and the tab strip pays the price. Cat Tabs keeps each project in its own group, shows one at a time, and always brings you back to where you left off. FREE FOREVER • Accordion tab groups — open a group, the rest collapse; only one is expanded at a time • Switch or Peek — jump into a group, or preview it without losing your place • Jump-to-group keyboard shortcuts • A pinned Home tab so a stray New Tab never breaks your flow • Never changes your existing group names or colors FULL UNLOCK — $9.99 ONE-TIME (no subscription) • The Workspace Dashboard: a live home screen for every group • Filter tabs, jump to any tab, and reorder with drag and drop • Save workspaces as Snapshots — and bring a whole set of groups back anytime • Optional sync of snapshots across your computers (through your own Chrome account) • Export and import snapshots as a file you own • Favorites and an audio finder for muting noisy tabs • Quick-access sidebar: recently closed tabs, your Google apps, and your bookmarks bar • Five cat companions (or hide the cat) BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN CHROME Developers, designers, researchers, students, and knowledge workers who keep coding, docs, research, and AI tools in separate contexts — and want to switch between them without losing focus. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Cat Tabs runs in your browser and has no servers of its own. Your settings, favorites, and snapshots are stored locally in Chrome. Sync and export happen only when you choose them: sync uses your own Chrome account, and export writes a file you control. The $9.99 unlock is processed securely by Stripe (via ExtPay). Free to install. $9.99 one-time to unlock the full dashboard. One group open at a time — open a project and the rest fold away automatically. Run every project from one dashboard — live cards for each of your Chrome tab groups. Save your workspace as a snapshot — bring a whole set of tab groups back anytime, with optional sync. Everything a click away — snapshots, Google apps, recently closed tabs, and your bookmarks. Switch or Peek — jump into a group, or preview it without losing your place. Permission justifications (for the Privacy practices tab) tabs / tabGroups — read and organize your open tabs and tab groups; this is the core function. storage — save your settings, favorites, and snapshots locally. bookmarks — show your bookmarks bar in the quick-access sidebar. favicon — display site icons next to tabs and bookmarks. search — run a web search from the dashboard's search box. *host permission (https://extensionpay.com/)** — required by ExtPay to process the one-time payment and check unlock status.
