You cannot find the one tab you need
The titles shrank to icons an hour ago. You open the page again instead.
Tab ManagerAdd to ChromeFor people with 40 tabs open
Close the tabs. Keep the work.

The real new tab page
Folders, notes and a timer, one tab away.
Screens from the extension as it is on the Chrome Web Store today.
Sound familiar?
The tab bar became your to-do list.
You keep tabs open “just in case”
Closing them feels like losing the work, so Chrome gets slower every day.
Two projects share one window
Client A’s docs sit between Client B’s tickets, and every switch costs a minute.
Notes live in another app
The reminder about the tab is in a notes app, the tab is in Chrome, and neither is where you look.
How it works
Your new tab does the sorting.
- 1
Open a new tab
Tab Manager replaces the new tab page with your workspace: folders, notes, search and the timer, with your bookmarks bar on top.
- 2
Stash and sort
Stash every open tab into a session in one click, or drag tabs into color folders. Your tab bar is clean again.
- 3
Come back to it
Restore a whole session when you return to the project, jot a sticky note for later, and run a 25 minute focus timer.
What it does
A workspace, not another list of links.
Free
Stash all tabs. Restore them later.
One click saves every open tab as a session and clears the tab bar. Restore the session and every tab opens again.
- Visual folders in 12 colors
- Drag and drop tabs between folders
- Sessions you can restore in one click
Free
Sticky notes next to the tabs they are about.
Add floating notes on the dashboard in 4 colors. Drag them anywhere and resize them to fit a to-do list.
- 4 colors, drag and resize
- Always there when you open a new tab
Free
A Pomodoro timer on every new tab.
25 minutes of focus, 5 minutes of break, with a ring that shows how much is left and a notification when time is up.
- Compact or expanded view
- Notifications at the end of a session
Free
Find any tab, group the rest.
Search open tabs, bookmarks and recently closed tabs at once with Ctrl+Shift+F. The auto tab grouper sorts tabs by website and knows 25+ popular web apps.

Privacy
Your tabs are nobody’s business.
Everything stays local
Folders, sessions and notes are saved in Chrome storage on your computer. There is no account and no server.
Zero tracking
No analytics and no ads in the extension.
Why it needs tab access
To list, save, group and reopen your tabs, which is the whole job. It does not send them anywhere.
Your bookmarks stay yours
The bookmarks bar on the new tab page reads your Chrome bookmarks so you can click them. It does not change them.
Price
Free. The whole workspace.

Good to know
Questions before you install.
Will it replace my new tab page?
Yes, that is where the workspace lives. Your Chrome bookmarks bar is shown on top of it, so you do not lose quick links.
Where are my tabs and notes saved?
In Chrome storage on your own computer. There is no account, no server and no tracking.
Can I get a whole set of tabs back later?
Yes. Stash All Tabs saves your open tabs as a session; restore it and every tab opens again.
Does it group my tabs automatically?
It can. The auto tab grouper groups tabs by website, recognizes 25+ popular web apps by domain, and lets you add your own rules.
Is it free?
Yes, every feature on this page is free. A one-time Pro is in the works; leave your email if you want to hear when it is ready.
