TabDashboard

Project Overview

TabDashboard is a powerful Chrome extension that provides a centralized interface to view, manage, and organize all of your open tabs across all browser windows and devices. It goes beyond simple tab management by adding a persistent layer of notes and context to your browsing experience.

Key Features

🚀 Unified Dashboard

• Window View: See all your open tabs grouped by window. Drag and drop tabs between windows to reorganize effortlessly.
• Domain View: Automatically group tabs by their domain (e.g., all Google Docs together, all YouTube videos together) to focus on specific tasks.
• Cross-Device Sync: View open tabs from your other synced devices (phones, laptops) directly in the dashboard.
• Tab Provenance: Instantly see where a tab came from. If a tab was opened from another page, a clickable "From: [Page Title]" badge appears to take you back to the source.

📝 Per-Tab Notes

• Instant Notes: Add sticky notes to any webpage. Your notes persist even if you close the tab and come back later.
• Keyboard Shortcuts:
  • Toggle Note: Press Cmd+Shift+X (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+X (Windows/Linux) to open the note for the current tab instantly.
  • Open Dashboard: Press Cmd+J (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+D (Windows/Linux) to launch the TabDashboard.
  • Shortcuts are fully configurable in chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
• Notes View: A dedicated view in the dashboard that shows only tabs with attached notes, turning your browser into a visual to-do list.
• Universal Compatibility: Works perfectly on complex web apps like Google Docs, Cloud Console, and local files.
