This is the panel itself, running on made-up tabs. Hover a window and press P, drag one by its grip onto Saved windows, or search for “bread”.

Tab entropy

Tabs pile up. Then you have to choose.

Every one of them was a good idea once. Now they cost memory, yours and your computer's, and the browser only gives you two bad ways out.

Open tabs24

Costs time

Go through them

Click into every page to remember why it's open. There goes the afternoon.

Costs the good stuff

Close them all

A clean start, and that nagging feeling something good was in there.

The third way

See them all. Keep them all. Close.

TabTab shows every tab at a glance, saves a window or the whole session with one key, and closes them knowing nothing is lost.

W Now

Every window of every browser, on one board.

Each window is a card, grouped by browser, with its sites in a strip along the top. The window you're in is the lighter one. No more clicking into pages to find out what they were.

Window · Date

Two ways to look

By window, as the browser has them, or by date, newest first.

Hover

A peek before you click

Rest on a tab and its picture and address show beside it.

Drag

Tabs between windows

Pull a tab onto another window's card and it moves there. Ctrl-click to take several.

P is for pictures

A picture says what a title can't.

Press P and every tab that has a picture shows it: videos, designs, listings, recipes. The rest stay as lines underneath. Hover one window and press P to switch just that one.

Especially good for a window full of videos you meant to watch.

P works wherever the pointer is, from the board to a saved session.

Save & close

Out of sight, not out of reach.

Save a window and close it in one move, or drag it by its grip onto Saved windows. Save & close all keeps your whole session under today's date, so you can start clean and come back later.

Folders

Drag a window onto a folder: a trip, a project, a someday.

Archive

Out of sight and out of the way, and search still finds it.

Bin

Whatever you close from TabTab waits here first, in case you want it back.

Search everything

Ctrl+F looks through what's open, saved, filed and archived, all at once.

Auto-sleep

Idle tabs go to sleep. Your computer gets its memory back.

After the time you choose, a tab you aren't using is suspended. It keeps its place, its title and its picture, and uses no memory until you open it again. Grey means asleep.

A filled dot is awake, a ring is asleep.

Sleep puts a whole window to sleep at once, and Wake brings it back.

Never on the sites you say not to, and never the tab you're on.

Built into MapMap

When a pile of tabs should become a plan.

Saving a window keeps it. Sometimes you want to sort it out, too. MapMap, ProPro's app for notes and thinking on an endless canvas, has TabTab built in: drag tabs out of the panel and onto a map, and arrange them next to everything else you're working on.

5 links
Shift Shift

The same panel, beside your map

Tap Shift twice in MapMap and TabTab opens next to the map, with the windows of every browser you use, side by side.

Drag

A tab becomes a card

Drop a tab and it's a link with its title and picture. Drop a whole window and its tabs arrive together, as a group you can name.

Keep

Then close the tabs

The links stay on the map, next to your notes, long after the tabs are gone. Your saved windows and sessions are there too.

MapMap

An endless canvas for notes, links and plans, with TabTab built in. For Mac and Windows.

Keys

Made for the keyboard.

One key per place, and they work the moment TabTab is open. Try them: tap Shift twice and the panel opens right here.

Tap Shift twice, or click.

Part of ProPro

TabTab tells your other tools what's open.

The extension reports what every browser has open, and the ProPro apps put it to work.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Which browsers does it work in?

Chrome, Brave, Edge, Comet and other Chromium browsers. Use more than one and TabTab shows them side by side, each browser's windows grouped under its name.

Do I need an account?

No. Without one, what you keep stays in that browser. Sign in with a ProPro account to have it on every device you use and to resume a session from another computer.

I opened it by accident. How do I get rid of it?

Tap Shift twice again, or press Esc. It takes two quick taps of Shift on its own, so typing capital letters won't set it off.

What happens to a tab that's asleep?

It stays in its window with its title and picture, and the browser frees the memory it used. Open it and it loads again. The tab you're on never sleeps, and you can tell it to leave certain sites alone.

Can I get back a tab I closed?

Yes. Whatever you close from TabTab goes to the Bin first. Saved windows and sessions stay until you delete them, and search finds them all.

Where does it show up?

Over the page you're on, as a panel you can make small, medium or large with Shift+R. It's the same panel in MapMap, where it also shows the windows of every browser you use.

Let the tabs go.
They'll be right here.

Every tab from every browser, in one calm place. Save the lot and close it, whenever you like.
