Chrome tab manager for people who live in tabs
Create simple rules once, then let TidyTab group matching tabs, stash busy windows, and bring your tab system back when you need it.
Automatic tab groups, window stash, fast commands, and rule backup in one Chrome extension.
TidyTab turns repeat browser cleanup into a small system you can trust during research, work, shopping, planning, and context switching.
Match domains, URL text, page titles, or patterns. When a matching tab finishes loading, TidyTab moves it into the right Chrome native tab group.
Save every tab and group in a busy window, close the noise, and restore that project later when it is actually time to work on it.
Open the command palette with Cmd/Ctrl+K to search tabs, run Apply rules, stash the current window, or jump into settings without digging through menus.
Back up your grouping rules and restore the same organization system on another Chrome profile, while window stash data stays local to your browser.
Start with one rule, apply it once to clean up the tabs you already have, then let TidyTab handle new matching tabs automatically.
Keep the extension visible so you can open the popup, stash a window, apply rules, or jump to settings without hunting through Chrome's extension menu.
The toolbar shortcut is the fastest way back to your tab workflow.
Pick a recurring tab type, give the group a clear name, choose a color, and match by domain, title, URL text, or a pattern.
New matching tabs can group automatically, but the tabs already open before you created the rule need one manual Apply rules action the first time.
After that first cleanup, TidyTab keeps watching new page loads and moves matching tabs into the right group.
