The tab manager for Chrome

How it works
Three moves. That's the whole manual.
Add it to Chrome
One click from the Chrome Web Store. No account, no setup. TabNorth works on your tabs right away.
Press Alt + O
Your window's tabs appear as a full-width list. Read whole titles, drag anything anywhere, close with confidence.
Click Organize
The AI reads your open tabs and sorts them into named, colored groups. Sign in with Google when you want groups saved for later.
What it does
Built for the way tabs actually pile up.
Read the whole title, not the first eleven pixels.
Your window's tabs, top to bottom, full width. Drag any tab, or a whole group, exactly where you want it.
Groups named while you blink.
One request reads your open tabs and proposes named, colored groups, applied as real Chrome tab groups rather than another app to maintain. Tweak or undo anything; nothing happens without you.
Close it all. Lose nothing.
Sign in with Google and saved groups sync to the cloud. Reopen last week's research exactly as you left it, on any machine; no rebuilding your morning from memory. Archive what's done, unarchive when it isn't.
Alt + K. Any tab, two keystrokes away.
A command palette for your tabs: search every open tab and group from any page. Arrow to it, Enter, you're there.

FAQ
Fair questions.
What leaves my browser?
Nothing, until you ask. Signed out, TabNorth is entirely local. Clicking Organize sends the current window's tab titles and URLs to our server, which passes them to an AI provider to propose groups. Signing in syncs the groups you choose to save. The full accounting is in the privacy policy.
Do I need an account?
No. The tab pane, drag reordering, and the quick switcher all work signed out. A Google sign-in is only needed for AI organizing and for saving groups to the cloud.
What counts as an “active” saved group?
A saved group sitting in your cloud list, ready to reopen. The free plan holds 10 at a time; archiving a group frees its slot without deleting anything.
Which browsers does it support?
Google Chrome on desktop, version 121 or newer. Other Chromium browsers may work but aren't tested yet.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. Deleting your account from inside the extension removes your profile, saved groups, and usage records. You can also email us and we'll do it for you.
How does the Pro trial work?
Your first subscription starts with 7 days free. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing. The trial applies once per account; Stripe shows the exact terms before you confirm.
