Side Buddy Manager

Organize tabs, saved pages, bookmarks and projects in your sidebar, with optional activity tracking and AI tools.

Side Buddy Manager brings your tabs, saved pages, bookmarks and browser projects into one sidebar. Keep useful resources together, close tabs you do not need running, and return to your work later. ORGANIZE YOUR BROWSER WORK • Build workspaces with nested folders, notes, statuses and routing rules. • Keep live tabs and saved links together. Save & close a tab without losing its place. • Pin frequently used resources, including links that are not currently open. • Search locally across tabs, folders and workspaces with keyboard navigation. • Move tabs between windows, use native Chrome groups and review duplicates. • Sleep idle tabs, archive folders and protect important tabs from sleeping or closing. MANAGE BOOKMARKS AND SAVED PAGES After optional bookmark access is granted, search, create, edit, move and delete real Chrome bookmarks. Review sorting suggestions, check whether bookmarked sites respond, and preserve selected pages as PNG, PDF or MHTML snapshots. Captures use a temporary tab and Chrome displays a debugger banner. Snapshot archives stay local and are separate from JSON backups. UNDERSTAND YOUR BROWSER ACTIVITY — OPTIONAL The activity tracker starts paused. Enable it to record foreground website time and associate it with your browser projects. Choose domain-only or more detailed addresses, exclude domains, set retention, export records or delete them. Detailed navigation paths need an additional optional permission. These are browser activity measurements, not proof of attention or complete work time. AI WHEN YOU CHOOSE IT Optional Google Gemini tools help group resources, organize bookmarks, find related links and prepare reviewed day recaps. Bring your own Gemini API key; provider terms, quotas and charges may apply. Relevant titles, URLs, folder information, queries and reviewed activity can be sent to Google. Page snapshot files are not sent to Gemini. Automatic bookmark filing is a separate opt-in setting. With a configured Gemini key, eligible newly saved bookmarks can trigger AI requests and moves without another prompt. Without a key, filing uses local domain matching. Filing history offers Undo. LOCAL STORAGE AND CLEAR CHOICES Core organization needs no account or API key. There is no advertising analytics or telemetry. The extension still handles browsing data locally; optional features may contact external services: • Gemini processes configured AI requests. • Work Buddy can receive activity intervals and project folders at your configured Convex deployment when sharing is enabled. • Bookmark availability checks contact the bookmarked websites directly. • Optional media controls need HTTP(S) site access to operate page players. Local JSON backups support review before restore. Backups are unencrypted; an optional Gemini-key export requires an explicit choice. Page snapshots and native Chrome bookmarks are not included in the regular JSON backup. There is no general cloud sync of the tab library. English, Ukrainian and Polish interfaces. Light and dark themes, keyboard shortcuts and reduced-motion support. Designed for desktop Chrome 116 or later. Start by opening the toolbar button, creating a folder and saving a useful tab. Optional features can stay off.
