Build a local, searchable index of photo albums you can already see in your groups. Your data stays in your browser. Album Helper is a personal productivity tool for people who browse photo albums in the Facebook groups they're members of. As groups grow, many users end up looking at hundreds or even thousands of albums — and finding a specific one by scrolling through the list becomes impractical. This extension adds a clean sidebar to album listing pages, letting you build a local searchable index of the albums you can already see. Once the index is built, you can type a few letters of an album's title and jump straight to it, instead of scrolling forever. ═══ HOW IT WORKS ═══ The extension is user-driven, not automated: 1. Open a Facebook group's album listing page 2. Click the sidebar icon and choose "Prepare page" 3. Scroll through the album list yourself at your own pace 4. The sidebar records album titles and links as they come into view 5. Click Done when you've finished — your index is saved locally From then on, typing in the search box instantly filters your album list. Click any result to jump straight to that album. ═══ FEATURES ═══ - Instant title search across your indexed albums - Clean dark-themed sidebar UI that doesn't interfere with the page - Export your index as a JSON file to back up or share with other group members - Import indexes that other members have shared with you - Per-group index isolation — each group has its own separate index - Warning when importing an index for a different group than the one you're viewing - Keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+F) to toggle the sidebar - All data stored locally — nothing is ever sent to any external server ═══ PRIVACY ═══ Album Helper does not collect any personal information. Your album indexes and preferences are stored in your browser's local storage and never leave your device. There is no tracking, no telemetry, and no analytics.
