Show HN: Better Gmail Tabs – turn search queries into tabs for fast email load

Given how we use widescreen aspect ratios today, a tab interface has been significantly more faster to separate out emails quickly!

~~~~~

Key Features:

- Custom Tabs: Create tabs for any Gmail label or search query.

- Seamless Integration: Tabs appear directly in the Gmail interface for quick access.

- Customization: Rename tabs and change their text/background colors to organize your workflow visually.

- Automatic Coloring: New tabs are automatically assigned unique, complementary color combinations (random background with high-contrast text) so you don't have to manually pick colors every time.

- Context Menu: Right-click any tab to rename, recolor, or delete it. Admin Panel: Click the settings gear icon to manage all your tabs in one place.

- Smart Navigation: Automatically detects if you are viewing a label or a search result when creating a tab.

- Export & Import: Backup your tab configurations or share them across devices using JSON files.

I was using a similar one called Gmail Tabs by CloudHQ but they charge now $2 per month (How dare they! But honestly shoutout to them for doing it first \m/).

So like all geeks I used Gemini 3.0 AI Vibe Code to redo it in ~4 hours (initial build) and launched on Google Chrome Store! Also added tons of features like local backup/restore with json, automated tab colors, ultrafast response due to localized css and no remote load, etc - things I wished the CloudHQ guys had!

If you get a lot of emails like me, please try it and let me know how it is. OR any features you want - project is open source so you can add yourself! I will try to merge back once every two weeks and launch on webstore.

OR let me know if you need anything on https://x.com/@jharohit

P.S. I got excited to do this also because I did another extension last year to just click "save" in Google AIStudio (when they didn't automatically save AIStudio chats!!). 4.5 Star Rating, 2.3k installs, 8k page views, 1.7k Weekly Active Users (as of Dec 2025). They have since fixed this but somehow I still have active users..

I replaced the front page with AI slop and honestly it's an improvement
