Smart Tab Manager

Group, deduplicate, and save your browser tabs by topic. Optional cross-device sync via Google Sign-In.

Smart Tab Manager organizes a browser full of tabs into intent-based categories and emergent workspaces. It works fully offline; signing in with Google adds optional cross-device session sync. The problem Most tab managers either dump everything into a flat list or force you into rigid workspaces you have to maintain by hand. Smart Tab Manager reads what you already have open and groups it on the fly using URL, title, and native-group signals — so structure emerges from your actual browsing. How it groups tabs Two layers, applied automatically every time you open the popup: 1. Thirteen intent categories — every tab is matched against patterns for AI tools, Coding, Hacking, Work, Writing, Shopping, Social, News, Research, Learning, Travel, Wellness, and Entertainment. Anything unmatched falls into "Other." 2. Dynamic keyword workspaces — any unigram or bigram appearing in the titles of two or more tabs becomes an ad-hoc workspace. Three tabs about "Ad Blocker" → an "Ad Blocker" workspace. Tokens are extracted from titles, camelCase identifiers, URL path segments, and native Chrome tab-group titles, so tabs cluster by what they're about, not just by hostname. Sessions • Save your current tab set under a custom name. Restore at any time. • Local-first — every save writes to chrome.storage.local first, so save and restore work offline, signed in or out. • Optional cross-device sync — sign in with Google and your saves are mirrored to a small backend so you can restore from any device. • Save just one group — every category card and workspace card has a pill button that saves only that group as a named session. Operations • One-click jump: clicking any tab row switches to that tab and focuses its window. • One-click close: hover a row to reveal an × that closes a single tab without dismissing the popup. • Close groups: close every tab in a category or workspace with a single button. • Window switcher: a pill row at the top shows every open Chrome window with its tab count and active page. • Rename workspaces: double-click a title to rename it. Renames persist across reloads and across re-runs of the keyword clusterer. Focus Mode Closes every tab that isn't classified as Work, with a 5-second cancel countdown so a misclick can't nuke your browser. The popup also nudges you with a Focus Mode suggestion when you cross 20 open tabs. Keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+Y (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+Y (macOS) opens the popup from anywhere. Inside the popup: ↓/↑ or j/k to navigate, Enter to switch, Delete or Backspace to close, s to save, r to restore, f for Focus Mode, Esc to close. Privacy & data Sign-in is optional. The extension uses chrome.identity with the minimum scopes (openid, email, profile) — only enough to identify which user a saved session belongs to. Tab URLs and titles never leave your browser unless you explicitly save a session while signed in. The extension does not collect browsing history, ad-targeting data, or anything beyond what's needed for the features above.
