Tab Sandwich

Save a tab or a whole window in one click, organize with color-coded categories. 100% local — nothing leaves your browser.

Tab Sandwich keeps the tabs you want to come back to, and finds them again when you need them. Everything stays in your browser: no account, no server, no tracking. SAVE ALL MY TABS Forty tabs open and no time to sort them? One click saves every page in the window into a category, skipping browser pages and anything already saved, and says exactly how many it saved. Close them all with one more click, or keep them open. They stay together in your list as a saved window with a name like "Toasted Rye": reopen it in a new window, rename it, or break it apart. SAVE THIS PAGE FOR LATER Click the toolbar icon, or press Alt+S: the popup shows the page you're on. Take the category it suggests, or pick another, and click Save. Already saved it? The popup says so, and one click updates it. Right-click any link or page and choose Save to Tab Sandwich and a category to save it without opening anything; the link is saved with its own words as the title. The + button adds a link by hand. FIND THAT LINK AGAIN Search titles, sites and your notes as you type, with the matching letters highlighted. Type a category's or a saved window's name to see everything in it, and press Enter to open the top result. From anywhere, type ts and a space in Chrome's address bar to search your saved tabs without opening anything. Sort by newest, oldest, title, site, recently opened or most opened, and go back to your own order any time. READ IT LATER, AND ACTUALLY READ IT Choose the categories you save things to read later. Once a tab there has waited a week (or however long you like), it gets a small moon, and the Waiting filter rounds them all up. Want one back on a certain day? Set a reminder, tomorrow or next week: at 9:00 that day a notification brings it back. Turn on the waiting count and the toolbar icon shows how many tabs are waiting. Everything else, like docs, tools and accounts, is kept and never nags. KEEP IT TIDY Color-coded categories, learned as you go: save another page from the same site or project and Tab Sandwich suggests the category you used before, worked out on your device. Pin the tabs you use most to keep them on top, and add a note on why you saved something. Drag tabs into your own order, select several to move or archive them at once, and undo anything with one click. Archive what you're done with: out of the way, never lost, ready to restore. Kept tabs you haven't opened in six months? A quiet tip offers to archive them. BESIDE THE PAGE, OR ON A PAGE OF ITS OWN Keep your list open in Chrome's side panel while you browse; a link you save from the right-click menu shows up there at once. For a big collection, the full-page library shows everything in one table: categories and saved windows in a sidebar, sort by any column, edit many tabs at once. It stays fast with thousands of tabs. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Tab Sandwich speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, French, Russian, Japanese and Simplified Chinese, following Chrome's language. Your own category names are never translated. Spotted a clumsy word, or have an idea? "Tell us" in Settings › About opens a short form. LIGHT, DARK AND THE KEYBOARD Follows your computer's light or dark mode, even while open, or pick one in Settings. Every action works from the keyboard: arrow keys, Enter to open, E to edit, P to pin, Delete to archive, Alt+arrows to reorder, / to search. The shortcut that opens the popup is yours to change. Export everything to a file and import it later. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Tab Sandwich stores everything locally on your device using Chrome's own storage APIs. Nothing is ever sent to a server, tracked, or shared — there is no server. The extension requests only the permissions it actually uses: access to your current tab (only when you click the extension or its right-click menu), local storage, read-only access to Chrome's own local favicon cache to show each saved tab's icon (no favicon data is stored, and nothing is ever fetched from the tab's own site), the right-click menu (and, when you save a link from it, reading that one link's words for its title), the side panel, and alarms to wake it for your reminders. Saving a whole window, or saving from the side panel, needs permission to see your open tabs; showing a reminder needs permission for notifications. Chrome asks for each only when you first need it, and everything else works if you say no. NEW IN 4.1 Tab Sandwich now speaks Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, French, Russian, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. It follows Chrome's language, a fresh install starts with categories named in that language, and every screen was checked to fit. And in Settings › About, "Tell us" opens a short form for a better word or an idea.
