Slate Stack – Read Later & Tab Manager

Save tabs to a simple read-later queue and work through them one at a time. Lightweight tab manager, entirely local — no account.

Slate Stack — Read Later & Tab Manager Too many open tabs? Slate Stack turns them into a simple, orderly reading queue you actually work through — instead of a browser window full of tabs you're afraid to close. Save any tab in one click from the toolbar popup, a keyboard shortcut, or a right-click on the page or a link. Each one gets added to your queue in the order you saved it. When you're ready to read, click "Read next" to open the oldest (or newest, if you prefer) unread item — or open the full queue page any time to see everything you've saved, in order, with a relative timestamp for each ("added 3d ago"). A toolbar badge always shows how many tabs are currently waiting, so your reading list never quietly grows out of sight without you noticing. How it works Add a tab to your queue three ways: click "Add this tab to Slate Stack" in the popup, press a keyboard shortcut you set yourself, or right-click a page or a link and choose "Send to Slate Stack." Open your full list with another click or its own shortcut. From there, sort oldest-to-newest or newest-to-oldest, open items individually, remove them, or hit "Read next" to work straight through the queue one at a time. Free vs. Premium The free tier saves up to 15 tabs, read back in the order you saved them — genuinely useful on its own, not a crippled trial. Slate Stack Premium is a one-time £5 purchase (no subscription, ever) and unlocks: Unlimited saved tabs Sort order — oldest or newest first Remove-on-open control — choose whether opening an item automatically clears it from the list, or leaves it there for later Built for privacy No account, no sign-in, no sync to any server. Your queue lives only in this browser, stored using Chrome's own local storage. Slate Stack only ever reads the tab you explicitly send it — it can't see your other open tabs, your browsing history, or anything you haven't directly acted on. There's no analytics and nothing tracked. Why install it If you're the kind of person with 40 tabs open because you meant to read all of them eventually, Slate Stack replaces that guilt with an actual queue: a short, deliberate list you clear out on your own schedule, one page at a time.
