Leap — Sidebar Tabs & Spaces for Chrome

About

Leap is a vertical tab manager and sidebar for Chrome that brings workspaces, smart tab organization, and the best of Arc, Vivaldi, Edge, Zen Browser, and Opera — right into your everyday Chrome.

Too many tabs? Leap fixes that. Create separate workspaces called Spaces for Work, Personal, Side Projects, or anything else. Each space has its own tabs, folders, and pinned sites. Switch between them in one click — like virtual desktops, but for your browser tabs.


🔹 VERTICAL TABS IN A SIDE PANEL
See all your open tabs in a clean vertical sidebar. No more squinting at tiny horizontal tabs. Search, scroll, and switch tabs faster than ever. Leap replaces Chrome's cluttered tab bar with a powerful side panel tab manager.

🔹 WORKSPACES (SPACES)
Create unlimited workspaces to separate your browsing contexts. Work tabs stay in Work. Personal tabs stay in Personal. Startup research stays in its own space. Switch contexts instantly without losing a single tab.

🔹 AI TAB ORGANIZER
Got 40+ tabs open? Let Leap's AI sort them into organized spaces and folders in seconds. One click to accept the suggestion, or customize it yourself. Smart tab grouping powered by AI — no manual sorting required.

🔹 DRAG & DROP ORGANIZATION
Move tabs between spaces, into folders, or reorder them — all with simple drag and drop. The sidebar is fully interactive: right-click context menus, rename anything, copy links, mute tabs, and more.

🔹 NESTED FOLDERS
Organize your tabs into folders and sub-folders. Group by project, client, topic, or however you think. Collapse and expand folders to keep your sidebar clean.

🔹 PINNED SITES
Pin your most-used sites to the top of any space. Gmail, Slack, Notion, Figma — always one click away, across every session.

🔹 CLOUD SYNC
Sign in with Google and your spaces, tabs, folders, and settings sync across all your devices. Start browsing on your laptop, pick up on your desktop. Everything stays in sync.

🔹 THEMES & CUSTOMIZATION
Dark mode, light mode, and dozens of background colors to choose from. Customize each space with its own theme. Make your sidebar look and feel exactly how you want.

🔹 KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
Navigate spaces, switch tabs, open search, and manage your sidebar — all without touching the mouse. Built for power users who live in the browser.

🔹 SESSION MANAGEMENT
Save your current tab arrangement as a session. Restore it anytime — perfect for recurring workflows, weekly meetings, or project-specific setups.


WHY PEOPLE SWITCH TO LEAP

→ If you have 20+ tabs open, Spaces let you split them into focused groups
→ If you miss Arc, Vivaldi, Edge, Zen, or Opera's sidebar — Leap brings that experience to Chrome
→ If you juggle multiple projects, switch contexts without losing your place
→ If you work across devices, cloud sync keeps everything in sync
→ If Chrome's tab bar feels cramped, vertical tabs give you room to breathe


COMPARED TO OTHER TAB MANAGERS

Unlike basic tab managers, Leap combines vertical tabs + workspaces + AI organization + cloud sync + full customization in one extension. It's not just a tab list — it's a complete sidebar experience.

Love Arc's spaces but it's discontinued? Miss Vivaldi's vertical tabs? Wish Chrome had Edge's sidebar or Zen Browser's compact mode? Leap brings all of that to Chrome — without switching browsers.

Works great alongside Chrome's built-in tab groups. Leap enhances them with persistent workspaces, cross-device sync, and a visual sidebar that Chrome doesn't offer natively.
