Surflow Tab Manager: Tree View and Tags



Overview
Organize tab chaos into a taggable, nestable trees in workspaces, with cloud sync.
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, and switch between them in one click. Surflow stashes the current tabs and reopens the workspace's — right down to the tab you had open. 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. It mirrors Chrome tab groups, so your structure stays in sync. 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 windows, one tree: flip a switch to see and organize tabs from every open window together — or move any tab to a new or existing window from the right-click menu. 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. Color by site: 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. 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, and workspaces 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 v5.0.0 ✨ New - Cloud backup — sign in with Google to back up your tabs, tags, and workspaces, and restore them on another computer. Back up to 5 workspaces: pick which ones with the ☁ selector, or let Surflow keep your most recently used. Everything stays on your device too, as always. - End-to-end encryption — seal your cloud backup with a passphrase only you know. It's encrypted on your device before upload, so no one else — not even us — can read it. - Auto-sleep old tabs — choose a span and tabs you haven't used in that long go to sleep to reclaim memory, waking instantly on click. Pinned, active, and audio-playing tabs are left alone. - Color by site — tabs and domain tags take on a color from their website, with a subtle color bar on the active tab. ⚡ Improved - "Unused-for" tags — the automatic age tags now flag tabs by how long since you last used them (not just when they were opened), from 1 hour up to a month. - New tabs open right under the tab that spawned them, instead of jumping to the bottom. - Clicking the toolbar icon now opens Surflow straight in the side panel. - Settings reorganized into tabs, with tucked-away hover help (ⓘ) instead of clutter. 🐞 Fixed - The tag area no longer slips underneath the Settings panel. - The "New tab" button at the bottom of the tree no longer scrolls out of view. - Clearer messages when something goes wrong, plus assorted workspace, filtering, and layout polish.
