gTabby

Keep useful tabs. Capture thoughtful notes. Manage actionable tasks

🐱 gTabby: Drowning in 100+ open tabs, squished favicons, but minutes, plans, action items scattered everywhere? gTabby turns tab overload into a fast, organized workspace with an instant full-page dashboard and side-panel assistant that help you organize Tabs, Notes, and Tasks. 🔥 Core Features (Latest v2.4.2) 📝 Inline Notes & Labels: Annotate important tabs with Notes and Labels, right from the side panel without leaving the tab. Notes persists even after you close the tabs. Reopen a closed tab is one click in the Dashboard. ✅ Add TODO Tasks with checkboxes in Notes across the Tabs. gTabby gives you a centralized Dashboard to manage them all and get tasks done. 🗃️ Auto De-dup, Auto-Close, Auto-Freeze: Auto-dedup merges duplicates across windows and set smart rules to archive stale tabs without losing notes. Opt-in to enable Auto-Close or Auto-Freeze to free up system memory for a snappier computer. 🔍 Instant Multi-Term & Regex Search: Search across titles, URLs, notes, and labels across all open and closed tabs from the Dashboard. Mouse-clicking slows you down? ⌨️ Keyboard Round-Tripping: Press Cmd+Period (or custom key) to toggle between your active tab and the dashboard. Worried about extension privacy? 🔒 100% Local Privacy: No new accounts, zero network connection, zero host permissions.. Need to share or view research offline? I want my own data! 💾 Portable HTML Snapshots and JSON full backup: Export annotated tab sessions into standalone, mobile-friendly HTML files or JSON for importing elsewhere.
