Tablio

A focused browser side panel for workspace switching, tab groups, and quick access to daily tabs.

- **What Tablio Does** - Tablio is a focused Chrome side panel that helps you organize daily browser work into clear workspaces, tab groups, and quick-access links. - Instead of letting important tabs scatter across windows, Tablio gives you a persistent control panel for opening, switching, and refocusing the pages you use most. - It is designed for people who live in the browser: builders, operators, researchers, support teams, founders, students, and anyone who jumps between tools all day. - Tablio works with Chrome’s native side panel, so it stays close to your browser workflow without injecting a custom overlay into websites. - **Main Features** - **Workspace switching:** Create and switch between browser workspaces such as Work, Personal, Research, Clients, Projects, or anything that matches your routine. - **Managed tab groups:** Tablio opens and organizes workspace tabs inside Chrome tab groups, helping each context stay visually separated. - **Quick links:** Add the websites and tools you use often, then open them directly from the side panel. - **Open tab awareness:** Tablio can detect and refocus existing managed tabs instead of opening duplicates. - **Native side panel experience:** Keep your controls available in Chrome’s side panel while your main browsing area stays clean. - **Command palette:** Use the keyboard shortcut to quickly search and run workspace, link, and browser actions. - **Editable sidebar:** Customize sections, links, workspace names, icons, colors, layout, theme, clock, and date display. - **Icon and color customization:** Make your panel easy to scan by assigning recognizable icons and colors to workspaces and links. - **Favicon support:** Let links use their site favicon when that is more recognizable than a custom icon. - **Chat/tool tab reuse:** Common services like WhatsApp, Slack, and Discord can be opened or refocused inside a managed group, reducing duplicate service tabs. - **Layout controls:** Adjust the sidebar layout for dense icon grids or more readable row-style navigation. - **Local-first workflow:** Tablio is built around your browser state and Chrome storage, without trying to become a cloud dashboard. - **Common Ways To Use Tablio** - **Start the workday:** Open the side panel, select your Work workspace, and bring back the tabs you need without hunting through old windows. - **Switch contexts:** Move from Work to Personal, Research, or a client-specific workspace while keeping each set of tabs grouped and easier to manage. - **Reduce tab duplication:** Click a saved link and let Tablio refocus an already-open managed tab when possible. - **Keep tools close:** Put your daily tools, dashboards, docs, inboxes, calendars, design files, and communication apps in one sidebar. - **Build project hubs:** Create a section for each project with links to its repo, docs, tasks, analytics, and staging environment. - **Use keyboard flow:** Open the command palette when you know what you want and prefer search over clicking. - **Customize for scanning:** Use icons, colors, and compact layouts so the panel feels like your own browser control surface. - **Separate personal and professional browsing:** Keep different routines in different workspaces instead of mixing everything in one tab strip. - **Goal** - Tablio’s goal is to make Chrome feel calmer and more intentional. - It does not try to replace your browser, your bookmarks, or your task manager. It gives you a practical control layer for the tabs and tools you already use. - The focus is simple: fewer duplicate tabs, faster context switching, clearer workspaces, and a side panel that makes your browser easier to operate every day. - **Why Users Should Install It** - Install Tablio if your browser regularly becomes messy, repetitive, or hard to navigate. - Install it if you open the same tools every day and want one place to reach them. - Install it if you work across multiple contexts and want Chrome tab groups to behave more like intentional workspaces. - Install it if you prefer a lightweight side panel over a heavy productivity system. - Install it if you want quick access without website overlays, popups, or visual clutter. - Install it if you care about a workflow that is simple, customizable, and close to the native Chrome experience. - Tablio is especially useful when your browser is your main workspace and you want it to feel less like a pile of tabs and more like a command center.
