Surflow Tab Manager: Tree View and Tags

Description

Organize tabs into taggable nested workspace trees, save Clips, and sync across devices. Drowning in tabs? Surflow turns the chaos into a clear, searchable map right in your Chrome side panel, so you can find any tab in a second and never lose your place again. Group your tabs into workspaces, structure them in a tree, and tag them your way — all right next to your work, one click from the toolbar. WHAT YOU GET Workspaces: give every project its own set of tabs and tags, then switch from the compact workspace manager without losing your place. Surflow stashes the current tabs and reopens the workspace — right down to the tab you had open. Clips: save useful selected text from supported web pages, then search, rename, annotate, manually tag, and jump back to the highlighted passage. Search one workspace or every workspace, and organize Clips with their own persistent tag, grouping, and sorting controls. Find any tab fast: search across all your open tabs, plus a built-in web-search box. Tab tree: drag tabs to nest related ones under a parent while preserving native Chrome tab groups alongside Surflow's deeper tree structure. Custom tags: label tabs with your own color + emoji tags, then filter the tree down to just the tabs carrying a tag — match ANY or ALL of several tags, or exclude the ones you don't want. All browser windows, one tree: flip a switch to see and organize ordinary browser tabs from every window together — or move any tab to a new or existing window from the right-click menu. Dedicated installed app/PWA windows are ignored by default and can be included from Settings. Auto-sleep old tabs: let tabs you haven't used in a while go to sleep to free memory and CPU — they wake instantly when you click them. Pinned, active, and audio-playing tabs are never touched. Auto highlight by domain: tabs and domain tags pick up a color from their website, so same-site tabs are easy to spot at a glance. Sort by age: reorder your tabs newest-to-oldest (or back) in one click — and restore your tree just as easily. Bookmarks: search your bookmarks from a dedicated manager, browse folders, and open a bookmark or an entire folder without leaving the side panel. Optional automatic tags: turn on domain tags or "unused-for" tags (flagging tabs by how long since you last touched them), and let duplicate-tab detection surface clutter for you — then filter and clear it in bulk. Automatic bookmark-folder tags can also be disabled in Settings. Undo recent changes: Ctrl+Z steps backward through up to 10 tab-tree actions, and Ctrl+R reapplies them. Make it yours: pick a custom accent color on top of light/dark, adjust Surflow's interface zoom, set your own keyboard shortcuts, and take a guided tour of every feature anytime. Stay in control: show/hide and collapse tag labels, batch-select tags to delete, show, or hide many at once, and resize the tag area to fit your workflow. Pinned tabs stay put, right where you expect them. OPTIONAL CLOUD BACKUP Want your setup on more than one computer? Sign in with Google to back up your tabs, tags, workspaces, and Clips and restore them anywhere — back up to 5 workspaces, and everything still lives on your device too. Prefer maximum privacy? Turn on end-to-end encryption: your backup is sealed with a passphrase on your device before it ever leaves, so no one — not even us — can read it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Surflow works fully locally, with no account and no sign-in — your tabs stay in your browser's storage, nothing is tracked, and it works completely offline. Cloud backup is entirely optional: only if you choose to sign in do we store a copy of your backup, and end-to-end encryption keeps it unreadable to anyone but you. Your Google name and photo are never stored on our servers. Built for people who run dozens to hundreds of tabs and want structure plus fast retrieval, without losing their session. Free and Manifest V3. Stop hunting through a wall of tiny tabs. Add Surflow free and take back control of your browser. What's new in v5.3.0 ✨ New - Search Clips across every workspace with a remembered all-workspaces toggle and clear workspace labels on cross-workspace results. - Clip batch actions — use Ctrl/Command-click and Shift-click to select Clips, then open, tag, annotate, or delete the whole selection together. - Rename Clips by double-clicking them, while keeping the original saved quotation and source anchor intact. - Interface zoom in Settings scales the complete Surflow panel from compact to full size without affecting webpages. - Independent Clip controls for automatic domain and saved-age tags, tag-label compaction, domain grouping, and newest/oldest sorting. ⚡ Improved - Clicking a Clip now gives it the same clear active highlight as a tab without unexpectedly opening its source; use the dedicated Open action when you want to revisit the passage. - Clip tag filters and view controls now affect only the Clip library. Tab and Tag manager actions remain focused on the tab tree, while manually created tag names can still be reused across both. - The selected Workspaces, Tabs, Tags, or Bookmarks manager expands to show its label, and Bookmarks replaces the tree while open instead of pushing the entire layout downward. - Clip multi-selection uses the same dashed-border language as tab selection and no longer selects quotation text while Ctrl/Shift-clicking. - The Clips drawer can be maximized by double-clicking its resize grip, and its compact toolbar uses consistent icons for equivalent tab and Clip actions. 🐞 Fixed - Right-click workspace deletion now completes reliably after confirmation instead of being cancelled when its menu closes. - Restored Chrome groups immediately receive their final title, color, and collapsed state without requiring another click or tab event. - Cloud backup now enforces the five-workspace limit consistently for every user. - Interface zoom no longer leaves manager bars, the tab tree, or Clips clipped at the old unscaled width. - Clip selection no longer applies an incorrect white background or opens a source page during modifier-based batch selection. What's new in v5.2.0 ✨ New - Clips — save selected text from a webpage, search it, add notes and manual tags, and return directly to its highlighted passage later from a compact workspace-aware library. - Ten-action tree history — use Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+R to redo recent tab-tree changes. - Protected-page restoration — supported browser and extension pages now return with their workspace instead of always becoming New Tabs. - PWA exclusion — installed app/PWA windows are ignored by default so dedicated app tabs do not clutter the tree. ⚡ Improved - A compact, consistent manager bar for Workspaces, Tabs, Tags, and searchable Bookmarks, plus a matching pinned-tabs surface. - Snappier hover, selection, menu, and tree interactions without slow visual transitions. - Bookmark-folder auto-tagging can now be disabled in Settings. - Drag a tab beyond the Surflow panel to move it directly into a new browser window. - Clips provide direct source-opening plus compact note, tag, and delete controls. Their expandable footer shows the Clip count and active workspace in one row, with a scrollbar matching the tab tree. 🐞 Fixed - Workspace switching now preserves pinned and unpinned tab order plus Chrome group membership, names, colors, collapsed state, and position. - Deleted workspaces no longer remain visible or return from stale local/cloud state. - Cloud backup selection takes effect on the next sync without a confusing three-day delay. - Ctrl/Command-click and Shift-click tab selection now starts immediately and behaves more consistently. - Inline tag pickers stay open while the pointer moves into them or while you type, and the Clip tag picker no longer disappears before the cursor reaches it. - Tabs now use a proper rotating loading indicator, and workspace restoration no longer silently drops supported browser/extension pages or Chrome groups.
