Surflow Tab Manager: Tree View and Tags

Organize tabs into taggable nested workspace trees, save Clips, and sync across devices.

Drowning in tabs? Surflow turns the chaos into a clear, searchable map right in your Chrome side panel, so you can find any tab in a second and never lose your place again. Group your tabs into workspaces, structure them in a tree, and tag them your way — all right next to your work, one click from the toolbar. WHAT YOU GET Workspaces: give every project its own set of tabs and tags, then switch from the compact workspace manager without losing your place. Surflow stashes the current tabs and reopens the workspace's — right down to the tab you had open. Clips: save useful selected text from supported web pages, then search, annotate, manually tag, and reopen its source from Surflow's compact bottom drawer. Find any tab fast: search across all your open tabs, plus a built-in web-search box. Tab tree: drag tabs to nest related ones under a parent while preserving native Chrome tab groups alongside Surflow's deeper tree structure. Custom tags: label tabs with your own color + emoji tags, then filter the tree down to just the tabs carrying a tag — match ANY or ALL of several tags, or exclude the ones you don't want. All browser windows, one tree: flip a switch to see and organize ordinary browser tabs from every window together — or move any tab to a new or existing window from the right-click menu. Dedicated installed app/PWA windows are ignored by default and can be included from Settings. Auto-sleep old tabs: let tabs you haven't used in a while go to sleep to free memory and CPU — they wake instantly when you click them. Pinned, active, and audio-playing tabs are never touched. Auto highlight by domain: tabs and domain tags pick up a color from their website, so same-site tabs are easy to spot at a glance. Sort by age: reorder your tabs newest-to-oldest (or back) in one click — and restore your tree just as easily. Bookmark folders as tags: one click opens a whole folder as a set of tabs, instantly. Optional automatic tags: turn on domain tags or "unused-for" tags (flagging tabs by how long since you last touched them), and let duplicate-tab detection surface clutter for you — then filter and clear it in bulk. Automatic bookmark-folder tags can also be disabled in Settings. Undo recent changes: Ctrl+Z steps backward through up to 10 tab-tree actions, and Ctrl+R reapplies them. Make it yours: pick a custom accent color on top of light/dark, set your own keyboard shortcuts, and take a guided tour of every feature anytime. Stay in control: show/hide and collapse tag labels, batch-select tags to delete, show, or hide many at once, and resize the tag area to fit your workflow. Pinned tabs stay put, right where you expect them. OPTIONAL CLOUD BACKUP Want your setup on more than one computer? Sign in with Google to back up your tabs, tags, workspaces, and Clips and restore them anywhere — back up to 5 workspaces, and everything still lives on your device too. Prefer maximum privacy? Turn on end-to-end encryption: your backup is sealed with a passphrase on your device before it ever leaves, so no one — not even us — can read it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Surflow works fully locally, with no account and no sign-in — your tabs stay in your browser's storage, nothing is tracked, and it works completely offline. Cloud backup is entirely optional: only if you choose to sign in do we store a copy of your backup, and end-to-end encryption keeps it unreadable to anyone but you. Your Google name and photo are never stored on our servers. Built for people who run dozens to hundreds of tabs and want structure plus fast retrieval, without losing their session. Free and Manifest V3. Stop hunting through a wall of tiny tabs. Add Surflow free and take back control of your browser. What's new in v5.2.0 ✨ New - Clips — save selected text from a webpage, search it, add notes and manual tags, and return to the source later. - Ten-action tree history — use Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+R to redo recent tab-tree changes. - Protected-page restoration — supported browser and extension pages now return with their workspace instead of always becoming New Tabs. - PWA exclusion — installed app/PWA windows are ignored by default so dedicated app tabs do not clutter the tree. ⚡ Improved - A compact, consistent manager bar for Workspaces, Tabs, and Tags, plus a matching pinned-tabs surface. - Snappier hover, selection, menu, and tree interactions without slow visual transitions. - Bookmark-folder auto-tagging can now be disabled in Settings. - Drag a tab beyond the Surflow panel to move it directly into a new browser window. - Clips now have quick hover deletion, reachable tag menus, and a scrollbar matching the tab tree. 🐞 Fixed - Workspace switching now preserves pinned and unpinned tab order plus Chrome group membership, names, colors, collapsed state, and position. - Deleted workspaces no longer remain visible or return from stale local/cloud state. - Cloud backup selection takes effect on the next sync without a confusing three-day delay. - Ctrl/Command-click and Shift-click tab selection now starts immediately and behaves more consistently. - Inline tag pickers stay open while the pointer moves into them or while you type, and the Clip tag picker no longer disappears before the cursor reaches it. - Tabs now use a proper rotating loading indicator, and workspace restoration no longer silently drops supported browser/extension pages or Chrome groups.
