Support
A Chrome extension for managing large numbers of open tabs. Sort, search, group, and close — right from your toolbar.
Features
Search
Filter your tabs in real time by title or URL. Results update as you type, with a one-click clear button.
Sort
Sort tabs by title (A→Z or Z→A) or by last visited (newest or oldest first). Sorting physically reorders tabs in Chrome's tab bar.
Group by Site
Instantly group all tabs by domain using Chrome's native tab groups — color-coded in the tab bar and collapsible in the popup.
Ungroup
Disband all tab groups with one click, returning tabs to a flat ungrouped list.
Multi-select & Close
Check any number of tabs and close them all at once with the "Close (N)" button. Select All included.
Switch Tabs
Click any tab row (not the checkbox) to jump straight to that tab. The popup closes automatically.

How to Use
Search
Type in the search bar to filter tabs by title or URL. Hit ✕ or clear the text to show all tabs again.
Sort
Click Title to sort alphabetically; click again to reverse. Click Last Visited for most-recent-first. Sorting reorders your actual Chrome tabs, not just the popup view.
Group by Site
Click Group by Site to create a native Chrome tab group for each domain. Groups are color-coded in the tab bar. In the popup, click any group header to collapse or expand it.
Ungroup All
Click Ungroup All to disband every group and return to a flat tab list.
Close Tabs
Check the box next to any tabs you want to close. The Close (N) button appears — click it to close all selected tabs at once.
