Any tab manager I found required me to do extra steps to an, admittedly, already easy process that I still wasn't doing
So I decided on building my own thing, and making a product out of it.
It's a Chrome based extension and does a couple of things:
- automatically hides tabs from your tab bar but keeps them open in a vertical one - deduplicates tabs - automatically moves new tabs in groups - and ofc, has an AI to organize them in groups based on on going projects
I personally am able to stay under 10 tabs now and still have all my clutter open in the vertical tab manager. Hopefully this is of use to at least some of you.
Disclaimer, it does have a paid plan for unlimited usage with the AI, but everything else is free and doesn't require an account
