  description

  Tabflow keeps your daily workflow tabs locked in, and auto-organizes everything else.
  
  🧷 PINNED WORKSPACES
  Define your own categories — Email, AI, Trading, Storage, whatever you live in — with a name, color, and the URLs that belong there. Workspaces survive every Chrome restart. Click "Restore" and any missing anchor tab opens itself and joins the group.
  
  ✨ AI AUTO-GROUPING
  Everything outside your workspaces gets auto-classified into 22 topics (Dev, Design, Research, Shop, Finance, Media, Social, Health, Travel and more) using on-device domain + keyword matching. No API key, no data sent anywhere.
  
  🗑 ONE-CLICK CLEANUP
  Tabs piling up? One click closes every temporary tab across every Chrome window — your workspaces, Chrome-pinned tabs, and active tabs stay safe.
  
  💾 EXTRAS
  • Save & restore named sessions
  • Auto-suspend idle tabs to free memory (workspaces excluded)
  • Quick notes with auto-save
  • Search across open tabs and bookmarks
  • Built-in keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet
  • Tab analytics — see your top domains and group breakdown
  
  🔒 PRIVACY
  100% on-device. No accounts, no tracking, no API calls. Your tab data never leaves your browser.
  
  Built for power users with 30+ tabs who refuse to let their everyday workflow get lost in chaos.

  TROUBLESHOOTING
  Seeing duplicate tab groups in the "Create new tab group" dropdown? That's Chrome Sync, not Tabflow. Chrome automatically saves and syncs every tab group you close. Fix:
  1. Open chrome://settings/syncSetup/advanced
  2. Click "Customize sync"
  3. Toggle "Saved tab groups" OFF
  4. Right-click each duplicate pill in your bookmark bar → Delete

  Tabflow keeps your browser under control — automatically.
  
  If you always have 20+ tabs open and can never find what you need, Tabflow fixes that. One click groups every tab by topic, a dedicated triage view surfaces tabs you forgot about weeks ago, and sessions let you save your entire workspace and come back to it exactly as you left it.
  
  ───────────────────────────
  ✦ AI TAB GROUPING
  ───────────────────────────
  Click "Re-group Tabs" and Tabflow instantly organises every open tab into colour-coded groups — Dev, Work, Research, AI, Social, Media, Shop, and Finance. No setup, no configuration. Tabs that don't fit a category get clustered by domain so nothing gets lost. You can re-run grouping any time your tabs get messy again. "Changed your mind about a group? Hover over it and delete it with one click — tabs return to ungrouped."
  
  ───────────────────────────
  🕐 STALE TAB TRIAGE
  ───────────────────────────
  Tabflow tracks the last time you visited every tab. The Stale panel shows you every tab you haven't touched in 7+ days — sorted by oldest first, with a day count so you can see exactly how long each has been sitting there. Close them all in one click, or save a backup session first and then close. Your RAM will thank you.
  
  ───────────────────────────
  💾 SESSION MANAGEMENT
  ───────────────────────────
  Save your entire tab layout — including groups, colours, and pinned tabs — as a named session. Restore it in a new window any time, exactly as you left it. Use "Save & Close All Tabs" to clear your browser in one move and pick up where you left off later. Ideal for separating work projects, research sprints, or context-switching between clients.
  
  ───────────────────────────
  ☑ BULK TAB SELECTION
  ───────────────────────────
  Need to close a batch of tabs manually? Hit Select, check the tabs you want gone, and close them all at once. No more closing tabs one by one.
  
  ───────────────────────────
  🔍 INSTANT TAB SEARCH
  ───────────────────────────
  Type anything in the search bar to instantly filter your open tabs by title or URL. Find that tab you opened three days ago in under a second.
  
  ───────────────────────────
  ⚡ TAB SUSPENSION
  ───────────────────────────
  Automatically suspend tabs that have been idle for a set amount of time (15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, or 2 hours). Suspended tabs free up memory without losing the page — click to resume any time. Pinned tabs and tabs playing audio are never suspended.
  
  ───────────────────────────
  🔒 100% LOCAL & PRIVATE
  ───────────────────────────
  Tabflow runs entirely in your browser. There are no servers, no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, and no data collection of any kind. Your tabs, your sessions, and your browsing habits never leave your device. Ever.
  
  ───────────────────────────
  WHY TABFLOW?
  ───────────────────────────
  Most tab managers ask you to manually drag and sort. Tabflow does the work for you — and gives you the tools to deal with the tabs that have piled up over time. It's the only extension that combines AI grouping, stale tab cleanup, session saving, and bulk close in one lightweight package (under 25KB).

  Tabflow automatically organizes your browser tabs the moment you open it — no setup, no rules to write, no manual sorting.
  The problem every browser user knows
  You open Chrome to do one thing and end up with 30 tabs open. GitHub, Notion, YouTube, Reddit, some random article, three Stack Overflow answers, and a shopping tab you forgot about. Nothing is organized, you can't find what you need, and your computer sounds like a helicopter.
  Tab managers exist, but they all make you do the work. That's not a solution. That's more work.
  How Tabflow works
  Click the icon and your tabs are instantly sorted into smart groups: Dev, Work, Research, AI, Social, Media, Shop, and Finance. No API key. No account. No data leaves your browser. Everything runs locally using smart domain and keyword matching.
  Key features
  🗂 Instant AI grouping — one click sorts all tabs into color-coded groups by topic
  🔍 Tab search — find any open tab instantly by title or URL
  💾 Sessions — save your current tab layout and restore it later in one click
  🪶 Lightweight — under 100KB, built on Chrome's native Tab Groups API
  ⚡ Auto-group — optionally group new tabs as you open them
  😴 Tab suspension — put idle tabs to sleep to free memory
  🔒 100% private — no account, no tracking, no data collection
  Privacy
  Tabflow does not collect, transmit, or store any data outside your browser. All tab information stays on your device. There are no servers, no analytics, no tracking of any kind.
  Permissions used:
  • tabs — to read tab titles and URLs for grouping
  • tabGroups — to create and manage Chrome tab groups
  • storage — to save your sessions and settings locally
  • alarms — to check for idle tabs on a schedule
