TabAutopilot – AI Smart Tab Manager: Auto Group Tabs, Snooze & Organizer

Smart tab manager & tab organizer: auto group tabs by topic with AI, snooze, hibernate, close duplicates. 100% private, on-device.

TabAutopilot is a smart tab manager and tab organizer for Chrome that auto-groups your tabs by topic using 100% on-device AI — nothing ever leaves your device. Too many tabs open? One click to organize tabs into clean, named Chrome tab groups — then they stay organized automatically. Snooze tabs for later, hibernate inactive tabs to free up memory, close duplicate tabs, and save your whole session as a workspace. Built for tab hoarders: whether it's 20 tabs or 200, TabAutopilot declutters your browser so you stay focused and productive — without any effort. ⚡ HOW IT WORKS Install TabAutopilot and open the side panel from the toolbar. Press Alt+G (or click Group Tabs) — every open tab is sorted into a clean, named Chrome tab group in seconds. Turn on auto-grouping and new tabs sort themselves as you browse. That's it — no setup, no account. 🧭 PROBLEMS TABAUTOPILOT SOLVES ✦ "Chrome is slow and using too much RAM" → hibernate inactive tabs and get gigabytes of memory back ✦ "Chrome tab groups don't save" → save your groups as workspaces and restore them anytime, even after a restart ✦ "I lost all my tabs when Chrome closed" → crash recovery brings every tab and group back with one click ✦ "I can't find the tab I need" → search every open tab by title or URL, results as you type ✦ "The same page is open five times" → duplicate detection spots copies and closes them automatically ✦ "I keep 50 tabs open so I don't forget them" → snooze tabs instead; they reopen exactly when you need them 🗂️ AUTO GROUP TABS BY TOPIC TabAutopilot understands what each tab is about by reading the page title, not just the domain name. A localhost page titled "Investment Dashboard" goes into an Investment group, not a Dev group. ✦ One click to organize tabs — every open tab grouped instantly ✦ Turn on auto-grouping and new tabs are sorted as you browse ✦ Choose between domain-based grouping or AI-powered topic grouping ✦ Tab groups get meaningful names like "Vue Dev" or "Social Media" instead of raw URLs ✦ If a group already exists, new tabs merge into it automatically ✦ 40+ popular sites get friendly names — Google Translate shows as "Translate", not "translate.google" All AI runs on your device. Nothing is sent to any server. 😴 TAB SUSPENDER — HIBERNATE INACTIVE TABS Each Chrome tab eats 50–300 MB of memory. TabAutopilot works as a modern tab suspender — hibernating inactive tabs to free up memory while keeping them visible in your tab bar. A safe alternative to The Great Suspender, built for Manifest V3. Think of it as a Memory Saver with more control — reduce Chrome memory usage without losing your place in any tab. ✦ Set a timeout: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours ✦ Inactive tabs are hibernated automatically ✦ Click a hibernated tab to reload it instantly ✦ Pinned tabs and tabs playing audio are never touched ✦ Hibernating 30 of 50 tabs can free 3–6 GB of RAM 🔍 CLOSE DUPLICATE TABS Real-time badge on the extension icon shows your duplicate tab count. Close them all with one click. Smart matching ignores tracking parameters to catch true duplicates. You can also turn on auto-close so duplicate tabs are removed the moment they open. 🧹 CLEAR CACHE & COOKIES PER SITE Free disk space or force a fresh sign-in without digging through Chrome settings. From any tab's menu (or the right-click page menu), clear that site's cache, or clear its cookies and session data — with a confirmation dialog first. Clearing session data also removes that site's entries from your local history. Everything happens locally on your device, only when you click. 💾 TAB SESSION MANAGER — WORKSPACES Save your entire browser session — tabs, groups, colors, everything — as a named workspace. Restore or switch between workspaces with one click. Tab groups are fully preserved including collapsed state. Unlimited workspaces, completely free. ⏰ TAB SNOOZE Save tabs for later — snooze a tab and it closes, then reopens automatically at the time you pick. ✦ Click the clock icon on any tab to snooze it ✦ Presets: 1 hour, 3 hours, or next Monday ✦ Or pick any custom date and time ✦ Snooze entire groups at once — they reopen with original name and color ✦ Snoozed tabs survive browser restarts ✦ Restore early or cancel anytime ⚡ INSTANT TAB JOINING Open a new social media site while a Social group is already open? It joins the group instantly. TabAutopilot recognizes the category and adds it — no clicks needed. This works across all 12 categories. Shopping, Development, News — new tabs find their group on their own. 📋 350+ DOMAIN RULES TabAutopilot ships with 350+ curated rules across 12 categories including Development, Social, Work, Shopping, Entertainment, News, Finance, Education, Research, Travel, Health, and Reference. Tab grouping works right out of the box. You can customize everything from the Rules tab: ✦ Add, edit, or delete rules — map any domain to any category ✦ Search, sort, and filter by domain or category; reset to defaults anytime 🧠 A TAB MANAGER THAT LEARNS Turn on "Learn grouping from activity" and TabAutopilot starts picking up your habits. Move a tab to a different group and it remembers your choice. Next time you open any page on that domain, it goes to the right group automatically. Your corrections always take priority. Learning is off by default — you opt in when ready. You can review and delete any learned rule from the Rules tab. 🔄 CRASH RECOVERY Your session is saved automatically every 5 minutes and on every tab change. If Chrome crashes or your computer restarts unexpectedly, a recovery banner lets you restore your session — restore tabs and groups with one click. 📊 ACTIVITY DASHBOARD See your browsing stats right inside the Workspaces view: ✦ Memory saved by hibernation (MB/GB) ✦ 30-day savings chart ✦ Top domains by tab count ✦ Category breakdown across your tabs ✦ Activity levels for every tab 🔎 TAB SEARCH AND SORTING Sort tabs by title, domain, activity score, or default order. Sort groups by name, tab count, or default. Search tabs by title or URL — results update in real time. ↩️ UNDO Last 10 actions are undoable. Press Cmd/Ctrl+Z or click the undo notification. Works for closing, grouping, ungrouping, hibernating, and duplicate removal. ⌨️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS ✦ Alt+G — Auto-group all tabs ✦ Alt+D — Close duplicate tabs ✦ Alt+S — Save workspace ✦ Cmd/Ctrl+Z — Undo last action 🖱️ CONTEXT MENU Right-click any page to move a tab to a group, save a group as a workspace, hibernate a group, clear a site's cookies, or close duplicates. 🎨 MODERN UI Clean interface with frosted glass cards and smooth transitions.

No. Install it and it works — no sign-up, no login, ever. Does the AI send my tabs anywhere? No. Gemini Nano runs entirely on your device; on machines without it, a built-in rule engine does the grouping. How do I stop Chrome using so much memory? Turn on hibernation — inactive tabs are suspended automatically and reload instantly when clicked. What happens to my groups if Chrome crashes? Autosave keeps a copy every 5 minutes; a recovery banner restores every tab and group with one click. Will it slow Chrome down? No — it's a lightweight side panel and injects no content scripts into your pages. Can I undo a mistake? Yes — the last 10 actions are undoable with Cmd/Ctrl+Z. Does it work offline? Yes. Everything runs locally, so grouping, snooze, and hibernation work with no internet connection. Is it really free? Yes — every feature, forever. No premium tier, no subscription, no tab or workspace limits. 👥 PERFECT FOR ✦ Researchers and students juggling 100+ tabs across topics ✦ Developers with localhost, docs, and Stack Overflow everywhere ✦ Online shoppers comparing products across a dozen stores ✦ Anyone whose browser feels slower — and messier — every week 🆕 NEW IN VERSION 0.7 ✦ Clear a single site's cache, cookies & session, or browsing history right from its tab — no digging through Chrome settings ✦ Smarter AI grouping algorithm and optimized grouping rules — tabs land in the right group more often ✦ One-click setup — recommended settings are on from the start ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛠️ MORE FROM THIS DEVELOPER ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📊 LiveMetrics for Mac — free menu bar app for live system stats → https://net.mdrashid.com/ 📦 NPM Manager for VS Code — manage your package.json without leaving the editor → https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MdRashid.npm-manager ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Requires Chrome 120+.
