  description

  TabFlow is a tab manager that helps you save, organise, and revisit your browser tabs without losing context between sessions.
  
  WHAT IT DOES
  
  Instead of bookmarking tabs individually or losing work when you close a window, TabFlow lets you capture your open tabs into named groups, inside colour-coded categories. Everything is stored locally on your device — no account, no sync to any server.
  
  • Save any open tab to a category and group in one click
  • Import your entire current window as a session snapshot
  • Drag tabs between groups to reorganise at any time
  • Drag-and-drop to reorder your categories
  • Open a saved tab in a new browser tab instantly
  • Rename, recolour, or delete groups and categories
  • Search saved tabs by title or domain
  • Dark mode and accent colour customisation
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  
  TabFlow appears in two places:
  
  1. New Tab page — a full dashboard showing your categories on the left, saved tab groups in the centre, and your currently open tabs on the right. This gives you a complete picture of what you have saved and what is open right now.
  
  2. Side panel — click the TabFlow icon in the toolbar to open the sidebar. From here you can view all open tabs, save individual tabs, bulk-select tabs, drag tabs directly onto a category chip, or import your current window with one click.
  
  YOUR PRIVACY
  
  TabFlow stores everything in your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.local for groups and categories, chrome.storage.sync for display preferences such as dark mode). No data is ever sent to any external server. No analytics. No tracking. No account required.
  
  WHO IS IT FOR
  
  TabFlow is useful for anyone who works across many browser tabs at once — researchers, developers, students, writers, or anyone who frequently switches between different projects and wants a lightweight way to snapshot and restore their context.

  Stop Drowning in Tabs. Start Flowing.
  
  TabFlow is a powerful tab manager that helps you save, organize, and revisit your browser tabs — without the chaos. Instead of keeping dozens of tabs open "just in case," save them to categories and groups, then come back exactly when you need them.
  
  TabFlow replaces your new tab page with a clean, full-featured dashboard, and adds a side panel so you can manage your tabs without ever leaving the page you're on.
