Hi HN! Maker here. I’ve been a too many tabs guy for as long as I’ve had internet access (even back when that meant too many windows on IE). I've tried a lot of approaches: chrome extensions (OneTab, TooManyTabs, Tree-style tabs); built my own extension (TabLasso); even written down links on paper (I know).

I had this realization that most of my tab sprees came from research I was doing into specific topics—stuff that was kind of like a background job I wanted to pause on and pick up later. So I'm building a browser specifically for that.

Your tabs are organized by project, treated like a todo list, and can get cut up into just the useful pieces and glued together into a kind of summary of your progress on looking into that topic so far.

We’re looking for people who have tried all the tools and want to get in on the ground floor. Excited to hear your feedback on our approach!

Create new window > bookmark all tabs > close window

Totally get that workflow working for a lot of people, but not me.

I end up with thousands of bookmarks that I never revisit even though I know I saved them for a reason. Even if they're organized by the window, I don't have any context as to what I was thinking when I saved it (was I interested in the entire site, or just a piece?). After a certain point bookmarks and OneTab are just too noisey to have any value.
