② Short Description

③ Detailed Description

TabAura — Bring order, speed, and clarity to your browser tabs.

Do you regularly have dozens of tabs open?

As your tabs pile up, finding the right page becomes harder, duplicate tabs become common, and your browser can become increasingly cluttered and resource-heavy.

TabAura is a smart sidepanel tab manager built for power users, developers, researchers, and anyone who works with many browser tabs.

It combines fast fuzzy search, keyboard-first navigation, duplicate tab cleanup, smart tab grouping, tab freezing, and adaptive themes to keep your browser organized, focused, and easier to navigate.

⚡ Key Features

⌨️ 1. Keyboard-First Tab Management

Manage your tabs without constantly reaching for the mouse.

Ctrl + Shift + Z — Open the TabAura sidepanel
↑ / ↓ — Navigate between tabs
Enter — Switch to the selected tab
Delete — Close a tab
Keyboard shortcuts for quick tab management

Designed for users who prefer fast, keyboard-driven workflows.

🔎 2. Lightning-Fast Fuzzy Search

Have dozens—or even hundreds—of tabs open?

You don't need to scan through them one by one.

TabAura provides fast fuzzy search across:

Page titles
URLs
Pinyin
Pinyin initials

Type what you remember and quickly find the page you need.

🧹 3. Smart Duplicate Tab Cleanup

Opened the same GitHub repository, Stack Overflow page, documentation, or project multiple times?

TabAura can detect duplicate webpages and help you quickly clean up redundant tabs.

Less duplication. Less clutter. More focus.

🌳 4. Smart Tab Grouping

When two or more tabs share the same domain, TabAura automatically organizes them into a group.

Websites with only one open tab remain flat, so TabAura doesn't create unnecessary groups just for visual organization.

You can also:

Keep multiple groups expanded
Collapse multiple groups
Switch between different websites and tasks more easily
Quickly scan your tabs through the tree-style hierarchy

Clear vertical guide lines make the relationship between groups and tabs easy to understand.

Even with dozens of open tabs, you can quickly locate the page you need.

❄️ 5. Tab Freeze — Reduce Resource Usage from Idle Tabs

Not using a tab right now? You don't always need to close it.

TabAura provides Tab Freeze, allowing you to freeze idle tabs and help reduce browser resource usage while keeping them available for later.

Shortcuts:

Windows / Linux: Alt + Shift + F
macOS: Command + Shift + F

To reduce accidental interruptions, TabAura automatically avoids:

The currently active tab
Tabs playing audio
Pinned tabs

Frozen tabs are clearly marked with a semi-transparent appearance and a snowflake icon.

When you need one again, simply click the tab to restore it.

Actual resource savings may vary depending on the webpage, browser environment, and tab content.

🌓 6. Adaptive Light & Dark Themes

TabAura supports both light and dark themes and can automatically follow your system preference.

Light Mode

Clean, bright, and minimal.

Dark Mode

An immersive Aura-inspired dark interface designed to blend naturally with dark browsing environments.

We also redesigned the text and background contrast system to improve readability.

In dark mode, active tabs automatically adjust their text contrast to make titles easier to read.

This also helps maintain clear text on special pages such as localhost.

💫 7. Dynamic Aura

TabAura's signature Aura glow dynamically responds to your current tab count.

As your number of tabs grows, the Aura changes visually, providing a subtle reminder that it may be time to clean things up.

It's more than decoration.

It's a visual signal for your browsing workload.
