TabDog is an open-source macOS menu bar app that helps you search through all open browser tabs and apps using simple shortcuts. It allows instant switching between tabs or closing them without switching windows.
TabDog is an open-source Chrome extension designed to transform how you manage browser tabs. It is built for power users, developers, researchers, and anyone who regularly juggles dozens of open tabs across multiple windows. At its core, TabDog provides a unified popup interface where you can search, sort, group, and close tabs without ever leaving your current page. The extension also offers workspace management, browsing history review, and optional cloud sync for cross-device continuity. By eliminating the friction of tab overload, TabDog helps users stay focused, reduce clutter, and navigate their browser more efficiently.
The primary pain point TabDog solves is the chaos and slowdown caused by an excessive number of open tabs. Users often lose track of important tabs, waste time manually hunting for the right one, or hesitate to close tabs for fear of losing them. This leads to browser lag, cognitive overload, and reduced productivity. TabDog addresses this by providing instant search across all tabs, automatic domain grouping, and a recently closed list for quick recovery. It also allows users to save and restore entire tab sets as workspaces, ensuring no research or project is ever lost. For users who work across multiple devices, cloud sync keeps workspaces and session data consistent, removing the frustration of rebuilding tab collections.
The first major feature group is the Tabs module, which includes Quick Search, Domain Grouping, Smart Sorting, Recently Closed, and Tab Actions. Quick Search lets you filter all open tabs by title, URL, or domain in real time, so you can jump to any tab in seconds. Domain Grouping automatically clusters tabs by website, making it easy to close all tabs from a single source or to review related content. Smart Sorting orders tabs by last accessed time, helping you focus on recently used pages. The Recently Closed section (30-minute window) lets you reopen accidentally closed tabs. Tab Actions allow closing individual tabs or entire domain groups with one click — all without leaving the popup.
The second major feature group is Workspaces (called Spaces), which allow you to save, manage, and restore sets of tabs. You can save your current tabs as a named workspace, optionally add custom URLs beyond what's open, and assign one of nine color labels for visual organization. When restoring, you can choose to add tabs to the current window or replace all existing tabs. Workspaces sync across devices when you are signed in with Google, so your research, work projects, or leisure reading are accessible from any Chromium-based browser. This feature is ideal for organizing workflows by topic, client, or task, and for quickly switching between different contexts without losing state.
