Tabatha

See live previews of all your tabs with Alt+Q. Search, jump between windows and reopen recently closed tabs.

Tabatha is Alt+Tab for your browser tabs. Press Alt+Q and every open tab appears as a live preview, so you can find the one you want by what it looks like, not by squinting at a row of tiny favicons. HOW IT WORKS - Tap Alt+Q and Tabatha stays open. No need to keep holding anything: use the arrow keys, type to search, or click with the mouse. Enter opens a tab, Esc or a click outside closes Tabatha. - Prefer Alt+Tab style? Hold Alt and tap Q again to move through your tabs, most recently used first, then let go to jump. - Alt+Shift+Q moves backwards. FEATURES - Live previews: see a screenshot of each tab, not just its title. - Search: start typing to filter open and recently closed tabs by title or address. - All your windows: tabs from every Chrome window in one view, each labelled with its site and window. Press Alt+W (or click a window chip) to narrow it to one window. - Recently closed: reopen tabs and windows you closed in the last few hours, with a preview of what they looked like. - Tidy up fast: press Delete (Cmd+Backspace on a Mac) or middle-click to close tabs straight from the switcher. - Inactive tabs, just like Chrome shows them: tabs Chrome has unloaded to save memory are marked Inactive. Tabs Tabatha hasn't seen yet say No preview yet. - Free, with a small Buy Me a Coffee button in the corner if you want to say thanks. - Works everywhere: on pages extensions can't draw on (New Tab, Chrome settings, the Web Store) Tabatha opens in its own small window instead. KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS Alt+Q: open Tabatha / next tab Alt+Shift+Q: previous tab Alt+W: switch window filter Enter: open the selected tab Arrow keys: move the selection Delete (Mac: Cmd+Backspace): close the selected tab Esc: clear search, or close Tabatha Ctrl+F: jump to search On a Mac, Alt is the Option key. You can change the shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Previews never leave your computer. They are stored in memory only, never written to disk, and wiped when you close Chrome. - Previews of closed tabs are forgotten after 30 minutes. - No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no ads. The extension is blocked from making any network requests at all. (The optional Buy Me a Coffee button simply opens buymeacoffee.com in a new tab when you click it.) - Tabatha does not run in Incognito windows. WHY IT ASKS FOR ACCESS TO ALL SITES Chrome can only take a screenshot of a tab, and show the switcher on top of a page, if the extension has access to that site. Tabatha uses that access only to capture the preview and draw the switcher. It never reads or changes what's on the page. Open source: https://github.com/Vajrayu/tabatha
