Treedent - Tab Manager

Treedent transforms tab chaos into clarity, using intuitive tree-structured navigation designed for focus and flow.

==================================================== TREEDENT ==================================================== Treedent is a privacy-friendly tree-style tab manager for Google Chrome. It transforms overwhelming tab chaos into a structured, collapsible tree. Tabs opened from a page stay linked as children, so browsing sessions keep their context. Whether you work with research-heavy workflows, many windows, or long-running sessions, Treedent helps you stay organized and keep control. Treedent v2 introduces a rebuilt runtime focused on reliability: session state is managed authoritatively in the background, with deterministic persistence and restoration. ==================== KEY FEATURES ==================== ▪ Authoritative Session Runtime (v2) Treedent now uses a background-owned source of truth for session and tree state, improving consistency and reducing drift. ▪ Tree-Style Sidebar View tabs and folders in a nested hierarchy and collapse branches to reduce noise. ▪ Drag-and-Drop Reordering and Nesting Move tabs or whole branches exactly where you need them in the tree. ▪ Search, Multi-Select, and Bulk Actions Find items quickly and apply actions across multiple tabs at once. ▪ Snapshot History and Restore Capture workspace snapshots and restore full sessions or individual snapshot windows. ▪ Deterministic Startup Recovery Treedent applies explicit restore rules for restart/crash scenarios and avoids accidental session overwrite. ▪ Tab and Branch Operations Activate, pin/unpin, duplicate, refresh, mute, discard, close, copy link, and run branch-level actions. ▪ Window Workflows Move selected items to new/existing windows and import trees from other windows. ▪ In-Page Sidebar Mode Use Treedent in Chrome side panel mode or in-page injected mode with configurable position, width, and behavior. ▪ Deep Focus and Auto-Collapse Focus on one branch at a time and reduce unrelated tree noise during tab switching. ▪ Options, Logs, and Debugging Configure behavior, language, and styling, and inspect logs/snapshot/runtime diagnostics directly in the extension UI. ▪ Flexible Theming and Styling Use built-in themes, live preview, and advanced style settings including custom theme workflows. ▪ Privacy-First Design No hidden telemetry. Your tab/session data stays local in your browser. ============================= FEATURES UNDER DEVELOPMENT ============================= • Optional Cloud Sync Sync trees, workspaces, and settings across devices (planned, opt-in). • Collaboration Features Shared workflows and multi-user session capabilities are planned for future releases. ==================== WHAT'S NEW ==================== ---------------------------------------------------- Version 2.0.0 • Treedent v2 and authoritative session runtime ---------------------------------------------------- Description: This major release introduces the v2 architecture with background-owned authoritative session state, deterministic restoration, and a rebuilt options and diagnostics surface. --- Features --- • Added authoritative background runtime ownership for session state and tree updates. • Added deterministic startup restore flow with pending-restore confirmation when existing browser sessions are detected. • Added full snapshot history controls for restoring complete snapshots or individual windows. • Added in-page sidebar presentation mode with configurable position, width, overlay/page-space behavior, auto-collapse, and trigger area. • Added expanded options tabs for Features, Styling, Language, Logs, Snapshots, and Debugging. --- Improvements --- • Improved persistence reliability by combining periodic snapshots with debounced snapshot writes and bounded retention. • Improved recovery visibility with richer debug state, journal status, and restore diagnostics. • Improved branch and multi-selection workflows for close, discard, move, import, pin, and reorder actions. • Improved customization with advanced style tokens, saved custom themes, and theme import/export. • Improved startup/session consistency by enforcing restore precedence and sync blocking during restore-sensitive phases. --- Bug Fixes --- • Fixed multiple restore and reconciliation edge cases that could flatten or drift tree structure during startup transitions. • Fixed persistence replay fallback behavior when journal entries cannot be safely applied. • Fixed assorted sidebar and runtime stability issues across drag-drop, command dispatch, and state refresh flows. ---------------------------------------------------- Version 2.0.1 • Drag-and-drop and child-tab ordering fixes ---------------------------------------------------- Description: This patch improves tree editing consistency by fixing edge cases in multi-item drag-and-drop and child-tab placement order. --- Bug Fixes --- • Fixed an issue where moving multiple selected items as one drag block could behave incorrectly. • Fixed browser ordering for newly created child tabs so placement is consistent with tree expectations. ---------------------------------------------------- Version 2.0.2 • Sidebar shortcut parity and placement stability updates ---------------------------------------------------- Description: This update restores a v1 sidebar shortcut in v2 and improves tab placement and synchronization reliability during restore and runtime reconciliation. --- Features --- • Reintroduced sidebar double-click shortcuts from v1 to quickly create tabs and folders in v2. --- Improvements --- • Improved new-tab placement accuracy by using navigation signals during reconciliation. --- Bug Fixes --- • Fixed shift-click behavior to close the intended tab branch from the sidebar. • Fixed blocked browser sync coalescing to avoid missed or delayed synchronization runs. • Fixed closed-tab restoration placement to keep restored tabs in the expected tree location. ---------------------------------------------------- Version 2.0.3 • Runtime recovery and diagnostics improvements ---------------------------------------------------- Description: This update improves runtime reliability by adding automatic recovery paths and expands diagnostics for scheduled auto-discard and startup restore behavior. --- Features --- • Added scheduled auto-discard diagnostics with richer runtime events and troubleshooting details. • Added options/debugging visibility for auto-discard scheduler state and recent scan outcomes. • Added automatic resolution for stale pending startup-restore decisions by restoring and preserving unmatched browser tabs. --- Improvements --- • Improved session-change broadcasting with attached refreshed read-model state for more reliable sidebar updates. • Improved startup restore policy handling by normalizing legacy ask-style policy to restore-and-keep behavior. --- Bug Fixes --- • Fixed replay-failure handling to clear invalid journal entries and recover with a ready snapshot state instead of remaining degraded. • Fixed startup restore edge cases so meaningful existing browser tabs are preserved during automatic restore flows. • Fixed diagnostic persistence and synchronization edge cases around scheduled auto-discard state reporting.
