WhyTab – Intent-Based Tab Manager

Tell WhyTab why you opened a tab. It reminds, parks and restores tabs automatically. Plus private searchable memory. 100% local.

Tabs pile up because they have no purpose attached. WhyTab asks one tiny question when a tab opens – Doing now, Read soon, Decide, Reference or Just looking – and gives each answer its own timer. When a timer runs out, the tab is parked into a searchable list and closed. Restore it anytime and you land exactly where you stopped scrolling. - One-keystroke intent bar (keys 1–5) - Smart auto-park with per-intent timers - Never parks pinned, playing-audio, active or unsaved-form tabs - Live "Tab debt" score - Resume-scroll restore, search, bulk restore, Markdown export ★ MEMORY (PRO) — never lose something you read - Full-text search of the pages you actually read (not every tab you open), ranked, with highlighted snippets - Highlights: select text, press Alt+Shift+S; restored when you revisit and searchable - "You were 62% through this page" resume toast - Omni box search: type "why" then space - Time filters, dark mode, keyboard navigation SHORTCUTS: Alt+Shift+W popup · Alt+Shift+P park tab · Alt+Shift+E search Memory · Alt+Shift+S save highlight PRIVATE BY DESIGN - 100% local. No accounts, no analytics, no servers, no network requests. - Password pages are never saved by Memory. Mail, banking and sign-in sites are blocked by default; edit the list anytime. - Pause, forget a page, erase everything, or export your data in one click.
