TabTether

TabTether is a desktop browser extension plus a lightweight web dashboard that turns “too many tabs” into a focused, recoverable workflow. It automatically groups tabs by intent (task, project, or “reading later”) using simple rules and optional AI labeling, then enforces gentle limits: when you exceed your cap, new tabs go into a holding queue instead of hijacking attention. Each group has a tiny checklist so you can convert open tabs into next actions and close them without losing context. A daily “tab review” surfaces abandoned groups and suggests closing, snoozing, or archiving to a searchable library. It’s not a full task manager—just a guardrail for the browser, where most knowledge work actually happens. The goal is fewer open loops, less cognitive load, and faster task completion without heavy setup or guilt-driven gamification.
