About

## Detailed Description

isTabs turns your cluttered tab bar into a visual workspace. Instead of scanning rows of tiny titles, you see tab cards with page screenshots that help you identify the page you need at a glance.

### Key Features

**Visual Tab Cards**
Every open tab is displayed as a card with a page screenshot, favicon, title, and URL. Scroll through your tabs visually instead of reading text labels.

**Instant Search**
Open the popup and start typing — search by page title or URL to filter tabs instantly. Press "/" to focus the search bar, "Esc" to clear. No extra clicks needed.

**Window-Grouped Organization**
Tabs are automatically grouped by browser window, so you can see which tabs belong to which workflow. Collapse or expand window groups, and freeze all tabs in a window at once.

**One-Click Tab Switching**
Click any tab card to focus its window and activate the tab. The fastest path back to the page you need.

**Freeze Tabs to Free Memory**
Don't want to close a tab but don't need it right now? Freeze individual tabs or freeze all tabs in a window. Frozen tabs release browser memory while staying visible in your list.

**Screenshot Magnifier**
Hover over a tab screenshot to see a magnified preview. Hold for 1 second, then scroll to zoom from 1x to 5x — great for identifying pages at a glance.

**Adaptable Layout**
Choose how many tab cards to display per row (3, 4, or 5) from the settings page. Customize the density to match your screen size and browsing habits.

**Smart Screenshot Fallback**
If a tab hasn't been captured yet, isTabs tries to fill in a recent screenshot from local history, matched by URL — keeping your workspace visual even when captures are pending.

---

isTabs is built for anyone who regularly works with many open tabs — researchers, developers, designers, content creators, and multitaskers. It makes finding, switching, and managing tabs faster and less frustrating.
