TabFlow Agent stops duplicate tabs, groups related tabs by topic, and finds any open, closed or archived tab from one shortcut. It runs on your device and never closes anything you can't get back.
No more duplicates
Open a page you already have open and TabFlow takes you to the existing tab instead of adding another one. A notice with Undo appears, so you stay in control.
Tabs that organize themselves
"Organize All Tabs" proposes tab groups by topic, like Travel, Development or News. Rename any group, then apply. Nothing moves until you say so.
One shortcut for everything
Press Ctrl+Shift+Space (⌘+Shift+Space on Mac) or click the toolbar icon to search every open, recently closed and archived tab. Type > for commands.
Every change TabFlow makes can be undone: from the notice, from the top of the palette, or with Alt+Shift+U.
Tabs you haven't touched in a few days (you choose how many) can be tidied away by hand, or automatically every hour if you turn it on. They stay searchable and restorable for 90 days.
List sites TabFlow must never close, and sites where you only ever want one tab, like your inbox or localhost.
A welcome page shows your shortcut, helps you pick another if it's taken, and organizes your first window with you.
Export your open tabs and archive to a file, and import it on another machine.

Private by default
Grouping and duplicate detection run in your browser with a small open-source AI model (about 25 MB, downloaded once and cached). No account, no tracking, no data collected by us.
Want sharper group names? Optionally bring your own AI key. Tab titles and addresses then go to that provider only, and only for the features you use.
Optional
TabFlow works fully without one. Add a key from a provider you already use and it takes over the parts it's good at: smarter group names, and judging whether two different pages on the same site belong in one tab. You pay that provider directly for the tokens you use; TabFlow never sees or resells them.
Press Ctrl+Shift+Space, type >, choose Settings.
TabFlow recognizes the provider from the key and fills in its endpoint and a fast default model.
Use one model for grouping and a cheaper, faster one for duplicates, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
| Provider | Key starts with | Used for | Default model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude (Anthropic) | sk-ant- | Grouping & duplicates | claude-haiku-5-5 |
| OpenAI | sk- | Grouping & duplicates | gpt-4.1-mini |
| Gemini (Google) | AIza or AQ | Grouping & duplicates | gemini-3.6-flash |
| Jev (TypeSafe) | apikey_ | Duplicates (fast classifier) | jev-latest |
| Any OpenAI-compatible API | anything | Grouping & duplicates | Enter Base URL and model under split engines (e.g. Groq) |
Architecture & FAQs
TabFlow supports two intelligent grouping modes:
all-MiniLM-L6-v2 text embedding model in WebAssembly via ONNX inside the browser service worker. It converts tab titles and domains into 384-dimensional vectors, performs agglomerative cosine clustering with domain weighting, and assigns category names using zero-shot semantic matching. 100% of your data stays on your machine.In all cases, TabFlow generates a preview plan first so you can inspect and rename groups before anything changes in your browser.
Yes, absolutely! TabFlow has full native support for Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) with zero subscription fees and zero markup:
sk-ant-) defaults to claude-haiku-5-5.sk-) defaults to gpt-4.1-mini (or GPT-4o, o3-mini).AIza or AQ) defaults to gemini-3.6-flash.apikey_) ultra-fast classifier for duplicate tab decisions.You can also enable Split Engines in Settings to use one model for grouping and a separate fast model for duplicate classification.
All data is stored strictly on your local computer:
chrome.storage.local: Stores your extension settings, site rules, and API keys.chrome.storage.session: Stores undo history and short-lived decision caches, wiped automatically whenever the browser closes.There is zero telemetry, zero analytics, no central servers, and no user accounts. Nobody—including the developers—can see your browsing data.
Very little:
No. TabFlow is engineered for zero page overhead:
<iframe> that only loads into memory when you press the shortcut.webNavigation.onBeforeNavigate asynchronously for newly opened tabs only. Browsing inside an existing tab or clicking internal page links has zero delay.When you open a new tab, TabFlow checks whether the target address matches a tab already open in your browser. If it is an identical match, TabFlow switches you to the existing tab and shows an immediate on-screen notice with an Undo button (or Alt+Shift+U).
Navigating between pages inside an active tab is never interrupted, and site rules let you specify domains that should never be closed.
Never. TabFlow follows a strict safety rule: never close anything you can't get back.
Auto-archiving is completely optional and disabled by default. When enabled, tabs you haven't opened in your selected number of days (e.g. 3 days) are saved to your local IndexedDB archive. They remain searchable in the command palette and restorable with one click for 90 days.
