About

Beacon is a command palette for your browser. Hit Ctrl+. (Cmd+. on Mac) to open a search overlay, then type to jump straight to any open tab, saved bookmark, or history item. No mouse needed.
Features

Instant search overlay - Opens a centered palette over any page. Filters every open tab across all your windows as you type.

Window-aware sorting - Tabs are tagged by window (W1, W2, ...) so look-alike pages are easy to tell apart. Tabs in your current window drop to the bottom, so the ones you are actually hunting for come up first.

Slash commands - Type /book to search bookmarks or /hist to dig through your history. Switch modes on the fly without lifting your hands off the keyboard.

Keyboard-first navigation - Arrow keys to move through results, Enter to open, Esc to close, Backspace to step out of a command mode.

Draggable overlay - If the palette is in the way, grab the header and move it anywhere on screen.

Fully private - Everything runs inside your browser. No data leaves your machine, no external servers, no analytics of any kind.

Note: The overlay cannot open on restricted Chrome pages like the New Tab page, chrome:// URLs, or the Chrome Web Store itself.
