The Tab Economist

Idle tabs archived with on-device AI summaries. Read Later, group-aware restore, searchable library. Fully private.

Tab Economist watches your open tabs. When you haven't visited a tab for a while, it automatically moves it to your Library — summarized, categorized, and searchable. FEATURES • Auto-archive — Tabs idle past your threshold (default 2 hr) are moved to your Library • AI summaries — Gemini Nano (on-device, Chrome 127+) categorizes and summarizes each page • Natural language search — "that article about M5 chips" actually finds it • Focus Mode — Pause all archiving during deep work or presentations • Read Later — Right-click any page to save it to a dedicated Read Later list • Suggested tabs — Review idle tabs before they're archived (optional manual mode) • Undo countdown — A visible 30-second window to cancel any auto-archive • Just closed — A 5-minute recovery stack for tabs you didn't mean to let go • Tab Group memory — Restore a stack and its original Chrome Tab Group comes back with it • Export — Download your Library as Markdown or JSON • Protected domains — Add any domain to a never-archive list • Duplicate-free Library — Tracking params stripped so the same page never archives twice PRIVACY All data stays on your device. No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no analytics. Sensitive sites (banking, email, medical, password managers) are automatically excluded and never touched. Uninstalling deletes everything. AI runs entirely on your device via Gemini Nano — your pages are never sent to any server. The extension holds no host permissions and cannot read the contents of any web page. Free. No subscriptions. No catch.
