Core features

See the shape of your browser before you close anything

SignalTabs turns tab cleanup into a set of small, reversible decisions instead of one risky purge.

Your browser, mapped by site

Every open tab lands in a domain group, so GitHub, Gmail, YouTube, docs, and local work stop blending into one unreadable strip.

Clean repeats without losing the page

Duplicate URLs get an amber count. Close the extras while SignalTabs keeps one copy in place.

Saved context follows Chrome

Saved items sync through your Chrome account, with device context preserved.

Make a list, not a second tab bar

Save useful pages before closing them. Lighter than bookmarks, safer than leaving everything open.

Cleanup with a way back

Closed tabs go to Archive with configurable retention, so cleanup can stay quick and reversible.

FAQ

Common questions

Does SignalTabs upload my tabs or browsing data?

No. SignalTabs does not upload your tab list, saved items, history, or page content to any external server. All data stays in Chrome's extension storage.

Is it really free?

Yes. All core features — tab grouping, duplicate cleanup, save for later, archive, search, and cross-device sync — are free. No catch, no trial period.

How does cross-device sync work?

SignalTabs syncs saved items through your Chrome account using chrome.storage.sync. No separate account or server needed — just sign into Chrome on each device.

What happens when I close a tab?

Closed tabs go to Archive, where they stay recoverable for a retention window you control in settings. You can restore anything you closed by mistake.

Can I use it with multiple Chrome windows?

Yes. SignalTabs shows tabs from all open Chrome windows, and you can jump to any tab by clicking its title — even across windows.

What permissions does it need?

SignalTabs requires permissions to read open tabs, store local state, support restore flows, and power search. See our permissions audit for a detailed breakdown.
