MindShelf

About

You know the feeling. 300 browser tabs, each one "too important to close." You can't organize them because there are too many. You can't close them because you might lose something valuable. So they just... sit there, draining your memory and your mind.

MindShelf ends this. It's an AI-powered Chrome extension that turns your tab chaos into organized knowledge — automatically classified, summarized, deduplicated, and exported to the note-taking apps you already use.

Anxiety ("I have 300 tabs")
  → Scan ("Oh, 20 are duplicates, the rest fall into 15 categories")
    → AI processes (classify, summarize, deduplicate, evaluate)
      → Export to notes (Apple Notes / Obsidian / Markdown)
        → Close tabs with confidence
          → Search in your notes anytime


Features
- AI Classification — 5-stage pipeline auto-categorizes tabs into 15 fine-grained topics with streaming progress
- AI Summaries — One-click page summaries, multi-turn follow-up conversations, Markdown rendering
- AI Agent — Natural language tab operations: "close all shopping tabs", "export everything about React"
- Duplicate Detection — 4-level matching (exact URL > canonical URL > exact title > similar title)
- Knowledge Export — Save to Apple Notes (rich HTML), Obsidian (Markdown + YAML frontmatter), or download as .md
- Content Extraction — Defuddle / Readability / plaintext, switchable per tab
- Multi-Provider AI — OpenAI, Anthropic, and any OpenAI-compatible API (Ollama, vLLM, Azure, etc.)
- MCP Server — External AI agents (Cursor, Claude Desktop) can manage your tabs via MCP
- i18n — Chinese and English interface with auto-detection
