  description

  Neat Freak is a tab-saver with a brain.
  
  Click once, and every open tab in every window collapses into a memory-light session — automatically grouped into folders by what you're actually working on. Not by domain. Not by date. By workstream.
  
  Chrome reclaims the RAM. You keep the context.
  
  — THREE JOBS. ONE CLICK. —
  
  SAVE
  Snapshot every open tab into a memory-light session. Tabs close, Chrome frees up memory. Pinned tabs stay open by default.
  
  GROUP
  Tabs auto-organize into folders by topic. The grouping engine reads titles, domains, and a short page summary to figure out which tabs belong together — your active workstreams, not just "all your Google Docs."
  
  FIND
  Search every saved tab by keyword, or ask in plain English ("ux applicants I looked up?") and Neat Freak finds them. Restore one tab, a whole folder, or an entire session.
  
  — WHY IT'S DIFFERENT —
  
  OneTab and similar extensions give you a flat list of URLs. Useful for memory. Useless for focus.
  Neat Freak organizes those URLs into folders by what you were actually doing — so when you come back to a session, you see "Hiring & Candidates" and "Q4 Planning" and "That Plumber Search From Tuesday," not 87 unsorted links.
  
  — PRIVACY —
  
  Everything is stored in your browser's local extension storage. Nothing is sent to any server.
  The exception: if you turn on AI-smart group naming in settings, tab titles and short page summaries are sent to OpenAI using YOUR own API key. This is optional, off by default, and the key is stored only on your device.
  
  — OPTIONAL POWER-USER UPGRADE —
  
  Drop your own OpenAI API key in settings and Neat Freak uses gpt-5-mini to:
  - Pick workstream-aware folder names ("Job Hunt: UX Roles" instead of "linkedin.com group")
  - Power natural-language search across every saved tab
  Without a key, local grouping still works great. The AI is polish, not a requirement.
  
  — PERFECT FOR —
  
  People who:
  - Open 50+ tabs before lunch
  - Lose work-in-progress when Chrome eats their RAM
  - Want their browser to remember the SHAPE of yesterday's work, not just the URLs
  - Hate OneTab's flat list
  
  — LIGHTWEIGHT —
  
  No account. No sync. No ads. No telemetry. No data leaves your browser unless you explicitly turn on AI grouping with your own API key.
  Just save, group, find. Pin Neat Freak to your toolbar and click it whenever your tabs get out of hand.

  Neat Freak is a tab-saver with a brain (and a face).
  
  Be honest — half your open tabs are done. The article you skimmed, the doc you stopped reading, last Tuesday's plumber search. They're not work anymore. They're weight: eating your RAM and burying the three tabs you actually need.
  
  Click "Tidy tabs." Neat Freak intelligently stashes the ones you're finished with — saved, sorted into folders, and one click from coming back — while leaving your live work open. Chrome gets its memory back. You keep your focus. Clean window in about two seconds.
  
  — IT KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE DONE WITH —
  This is the part other tab savers miss. Neat Freak doesn't dump everything into a list — it reads each tab and decides. The doc you're writing in, the half-finished checkout, the tab you're on right now: left open. The skimmed articles, dead-end searches, and reference links you won't open again: filed away. Saved, never deleted, always one click back.
  
  — ORGANIZED BY WHAT YOU WERE DOING —
  Not by domain. Not by date. By workstream. Neat Freak reads titles, domains, page content, and even which tabs you opened together to sort them into folders that actually make sense — "Hiring & Candidates," "Q4 Planning," "That Plumber Search From Tuesday" — instead of 80 unsorted links.
  
  — YOU APPROVE BEFORE ANYTHING CLOSES —
  By default, Neat Freak shows you the list first. Glance it over, click any tab to keep it open, then confirm. Nothing disappears without your okay — and the tab you're actively using is never touched. (Want pure one-click speed instead? Turn the review step off.)
  
  — FIND ANYTHING LATER —
  Search every saved tab by keyword — or just ask in plain English ("ux applicants I looked up?") and Neat Freak surfaces them by intent, even when those words aren't in the title. Restore one tab, a whole folder, or an entire session.
  
  — A NUDGE, NEVER A NAG —
  Pile up past your limit and Neat Freak quietly offers to tidy from a little corner panel — and the mascot reflects the mood: sleepy when it's calm, frazzled when tabs stack up, pleased after a tidy. Ignore it, swipe it away, or dismiss it. It will not hound you.
  
  — WHY IT'S DIFFERENT —
  OneTab and the rest hand you a flat wall of URLs. Great for memory, useless for focus. Neat Freak hands you back an organized workspace — so reopening yesterday means seeing what you were doing, not decoding 87 links.
  
  — YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU —
  Everything lives in your browser's local storage. No account, no sync, no servers (we don't run any). The one exception: if you switch on AI grouping, tab titles and short page summaries go to OpenAI using YOUR own API key — off by default, stored only on your device.
  
  — OPTIONAL AI UPGRADE —
  Add your own OpenAI key and Neat Freak uses gpt-5.4-mini to get sharper still:
  - Smarter keep-vs-file calls (your work-in-progress stays, reference tabs get filed)
  - Workstream-aware folder names ("Job Hunt: UX Roles," not "linkedin.com group")
  - Natural-language search across everything you've saved
  No key? The built-in engine still works great. The AI is polish, not a requirement.
  
  — BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO —
  - Open 50 tabs before lunch
  - Lose work when Chrome runs out of memory
  - Want their browser to remember the shape of yesterday's work, not just the links
  - Are done with OneTab's flat list
  No account. No ads. No telemetry. Just tidy, find, restore. Pin Neat Freak to your toolbar and click it whenever your tabs get out of hand.
