Tab Shelf

Tab Shelf is a browser extension that moves your open tabs into a tidy vertical sidebar. Instead of a cluttered row of tabs at the top of your window, it organizes them into collapsible groups on the side. This gives you a clear overview of all your open pages and makes it much easier to find what you need. It works directly within the browser's built-in side panel for a clean, integrated feel.

The tool stands out with its smart automatic grouping. You can set rules to have it organize tabs by website, by your existing bookmarks, or even by custom regular expressions. It also helps you manage tab sprawl by highlighting duplicate pages and includes a powerful search to filter tabs by name, URL, or even if they are playing audio. A practical feature lets you put entire groups of unused tabs to sleep to free up your computer's memory.

Tab Shelf is built for anyone who regularly works with a dozen or more browser tabs open at once. Researchers, students, developers, and writers who need to juggle multiple references will find it invaluable for keeping their workflow organized and their browser running smoothly. It turns a common source of digital stress into a manageable, sorted list.
