LB TAB Layers

Manage your browser tabs beautifully by project — with bookmark sync.

■ Where does your workday go? · Every morning starts with reopening yesterday's tabs · Right before a meeting, you can't find the doc you need · Every project switch means hunting for tabs and reopening them · Every time you save something, you have to decide where it goes · You keep tabs open "just in case" and Chrome slows down None of these need any thinking, yet they all take time. LB TAB Layers brings "tabs you're using now" and "bookmarks you keep" together to cut that repetition. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ One project = one group Create a group for each project in the side panel and save the tabs you use. ▶ Starting work … open all of the project's tabs with ▶ ▶ Switching … close them all with ■, then open the next project ▶ Finished … Archive the group (it's kept, just tucked away) · Subgroups inside groups (e.g. Client A › Docs / Design / Billing) · 8 colors and icons to tell projects apart at a glance · Folder presets create a full project structure from the right-click menu · Star ranks to show only this week's priorities You only see the tabs for the project in front of you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ Cut the work that doesn't need thinking Reopening yesterday's tabs every morning → one ▶ opens the whole project Deciding where to save, every time → right-click a page and pick the project's group Keeping a page "for later" → Ctrl+Shift+S drops it into "Sort later"; sort everything at once, later Building the same folders for each project → folder presets create the whole structure Hunting for that one page → fuzzy search with an alias dictionary Closing finished tabs one by one → ■ closes them all; saved tabs stay saved Screenshotting pages for a report → capture a whole group into PowerPoint Comparing what matters, over and over → star ranks show only this week's priorities Each one takes only seconds, but they add up every day. Spend that time thinking instead. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ Saved tabs are real Chrome bookmarks Each group is a folder in your Chrome bookmarks, and every saved tab is a bookmark. · Restart or crash → still there · Uninstall this extension → still there · Another computer → available through Chrome bookmark sync · Chrome's own Bookmark Manager shows the same content Many tab managers keep data in their own storage and lose it when you uninstall them. LB TAB Layers keeps your data in Chrome itself — you're never locked in. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ What it does better than Chrome's built-in tools [Tab groups] Built-in: name and color tabs; a closed group stays saved and reopens from the bookmarks bar. But no groups inside groups LB TAB Layers: subgroups (Client A › Docs / Design / Billing), Archive for finished projects, and folder presets that build a structure in one click, plus notes and stars on each tab [Bookmarks] Built-in: you can "Open all" in a folder, but you can't close them all or see which ones are open LB TAB Layers: open everything with ▶, close everything with ■, and see open and saved tabs in the same list [Bookmark cleanup] Built-in: no way to find duplicates or dead links LB TAB Layers: finds duplicates across all bookmarks, checks for dead links, and cleans them up in bulk [Search] Built-in: matches only the exact text you type (tab search covers open tabs, bookmark search covers bookmarks) LB TAB Layers: searches saved tabs, open tabs and today's history (PRO) together, with fuzzy matching and an alias dictionary. Words in group descriptions and tab notes are searched too. [Saving and tidying tabs] Built-in: save one page at a time with the star; unsaved tabs just pile up LB TAB Layers: right-click a page and pick a group. Unsaved tabs gather under "Solo Tabs", where you can close them all or auto-group them by site [Screenshots] Built-in: no way to capture many pages at once LB TAB Layers: capture a whole group and export as ZIP or PowerPoint (with a cover and contents slide), plus full-page capture and recording And it all lives in the same Chrome bookmarks you already use — the built-in tools keep working, LB TAB Layers just fills the gaps. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ How it differs from other extensions · Tab-list extensions … store data inside the extension. LB TAB Layers uses Chrome bookmarks, so it survives an uninstall · Bookmark manager extensions … don't handle open tabs. LB TAB Layers shows open tabs and saved bookmarks in the same side panel · Auto-close extensions … nothing closes behind your back. Tabs close only when you decide, after they're saved ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ New in v2.8.72 ⌨ Quick save … press Ctrl+Shift+S (⌘+Shift+S on Mac) to drop the current page into a "📥 Sort later" group. No need to open the side panel — sort it out later 🪟 Open a group in a new window … from the right-click or "…" menu. Keep your current work and give each project its own window 📝 Group descriptions … note a project's purpose or deadline on the group, and find it by those words in search 🖱 Middle-click to open in the background … middle-click a saved tab to open it next to the current one without switching (open tabs close instead) 🎨 One place to edit … "Edit" in the right-click menu changes the name, description, icon and color together 🛠 Fixes … saving by right-click to a brand-new group now works, and thumbnail previews no longer get stuck on screen (Added in v2.8.71) ☑ Multi-select … long-press saved tabs to rank, close or move them to Trash at once (Trash can be undone for 30 days) 🖱 Right-click to save … right-click any page or link → "Save to TAB Layers" → pick a group. Works even with the side panel closed 📸 Full-page screenshots … scrolls to the bottom and stitches one tall image. Capture a whole group at once and export as ZIP or PowerPoint (with a cover and contents slide) 🎬 Page recording … Auto-scroll a page from top to bottom, or record your own actions (up to 10 minutes) ✕ The "×" on a tab now closes it, like Chrome (the bookmark stays). Double-click to rename 🔍 Rebuilt search … closest matches first, far fewer false hits 👀 Startup "Peek" … the sidebar briefly slides out after Chrome starts (PRO) 🖼 Library view … browse saved tabs as thumbnail cards on the dashboard, up to 1,442 thumbnails (PRO) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ One extension, many jobs — fewer extensions, lighter Chrome ▶ Bookmark cleanup … find duplicates across all bookmarks, check for dead links ▶ Screenshots … one page or a whole group, plus page recording ▶ AI sidebar … summarize or ask about the page (free with Chrome's built-in AI, processed on your device) ▶ RSS reader … new articles as image cards ▶ Pin bar … up to 10 favorite sites, plus a clock and work timer ▶ Focus timer … block distracting sites while you focus ▶ Markdown copy, split view, notes, section dividers, notification badges ▶ 40 themes, 8 languages ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ Free and PRO Every PRO feature is free for 90 days after installing (send feedback for 90 more days).

In production, the work that needs no thinking — hunting for references, reopening tabs, rebuilding the same folders — slowly eats the time we need to think. We built LB TAB Layers for ourselves, to cut that repetition. Fewer clicks, more time to think. The time spent thinking turns into experience, and comes back to the world as better work. That is what productivity means to us. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ Using it on a work computer · No account needed — install and start · Tabs and groups stay in your Chrome bookmarks and your browser, never on our servers · With Chrome bookmark sync turned off, your data stays on that computer only · License checks use an anonymous ID only · Data goes to an external AI service only if you use one, directly with your own API key · Payments are processed by Stripe; card details never pass through us · One-time purchase — no subscription or renewal to manage Requires Google Chrome 114 or later (Windows / Mac / Linux / ChromeOS) Guides: https://tablayers.liquid-block.com/en/blog/ Made by Liquid Block Inc. https://liquid-block.com
