A calmer browser, without losing your place

Close the tabs.
Keep the thread.

Your browser is full because every tab means something. UntangleTabs saves the tabs in your current window before anything closes, then helps you find the exact one, or the whole thread, later.

Starts locally, no account. Optional sync and recovery are planned for launch.

02 Saved should mean saved

A tab manager has one job it cannot fail.

Calm is worthless if the work disappears later. Every save is written before a single tab closes, and every close is journalled, so an interrupted browser can pick up exactly where it left off.

  • IN TESTSave before closeInterruption and persistence checks.
  • IN TESTRestart and restoreTitles, order and pinned state.
  • IN TESTImport / export round-tripYour data leaves whole.
  • IN TESTCrash-safe undoReopen first, then remove.

These are the tests a tab manager has to pass. We publish the independent results, with dates, before launch. No claim on this page runs ahead of its evidence.

03 Why closing a tab feels harder than it should

They are not just tabs.
They are unfinished thoughts.

A client idea. The article you meant to finish. Research for a decision you have not made yet.

You keep them open because closing them feels like trusting yourself to find them again. UntangleTabs gives every thread somewhere safe to land, without asking you to build a filing system first.

04 See the mess. Choose what happens next.

Back up the window, or clear the tabs that are safe to close.

Save Session

Save every ordinary web page in the current window as one named Session. Nothing closes. Use it as a checkpoint before a meeting, a restart, or a change of direction.

Untangle & Clear

Save the Session first. Then close the ordinary unpinned pages that are safe to close, and come back to a quiet window. Pinned tabs and the page you are using stay put. Undo brings everything back.

05 Know what is open

Search every open tab from the side panel.

The panel shows every tab in the current window with its title and favicon. Type, and jump straight to the right page. No clicking through tiny icons, no opening a duplicate, no losing the page you were just on.

Cloudflare
C Cloudflare Docs: Workers KVdevelopers.cloudflare.com There you are.

Free, local, and instant. Searching activates the tab you already have open instead of making a duplicate.

06 When you remember the idea, not the title

Find one page, or restore the whole thread.

Free local search finds open tabs and saved items by their words. Planned Pro and AI search adds meaning, so you can describe what you were doing and get the thread back, with the reason it matched shown in plain sight.

Free

Search the tabs open in this window, and your saved library, by title and domain. Verified in the shipped build.

Pro

The same fast local search, plus higher limits, recovery and daily snapshots. Not a different search engine.

Pro + AIplanned

Search by meaning, with visible match reasons and Search-to-Session. Labelled planned until it passes end-to-end testing.

07 Built for imperfect systems

Review the proposal before anything moves.

UntangleTabs never needs a folder or a clean archive before it helps. Capture now, find it later. When you turn on planned AI, it proposes groups by topic, project or intent, shows the proposal first, lets you adjust it, and keeps a durable reverse. Your original saved record stays untouched.

08 Your library. Your choice.

Local-only now, or planned account recovery at launch.

Local-only

Use UntangleTabs without an account. Your library stays in this browser. Removing the extension, resetting the profile, or losing the device can lose local-only data, so export is always one click away.

Sync and recovery planned

Sign in when you want recovery across devices. Synced data will be encrypted in transit and at rest. We will publish exactly how recovery works, in plain language, before it ships.

What the extension can access

  • Open-tab titles, addresses and favicons, so it can show, search, save and restore the tabs you choose.
  • Local extension storage for your UntangleTabs library.
  • Notifications and alarms for reminders and scheduled local actions.
  • Google sign-in only when you choose it. Bookmarks only after you grant the optional import.

The current build has no content script, no general host permission, and no browsing-history permission. It does not sell browsing data or use your library for advertising.

09 Organisation without surrendering control

Planned AI shows its proposal before anything changes.

Review the proposal, move what feels wrong, accept it when it helps, reverse it when it does not. Before any AI request leaves the browser, the planned disclosure explains what is sent, why, and who processes it. Trust and control are the point, not magic.

planned Separate, explicit opt-in. Off until you turn it on.

11 The questions that decide it

Straight answers.

Will anything close before it is saved?

No. The Session is written first. Only after the save succeeds does UntangleTabs close the tabs that are safe to close, and every close is journalled so an interruption can resume cleanly.

What stays open?

Pinned tabs, browser-internal pages, extension pages, and the exact page you are looking at. Untangle only touches ordinary web pages in the current window.

Is this another filing system I have to maintain?

No. Capture now, find it later. There is no folder or taxonomy to build before it becomes useful. Planned AI only proposes structure, and only when you ask.

Can I find one open tab without saving the whole window?

Yes. Search the side panel and jump to that tab. It activates the page you already have open, it does not make a duplicate.

Can I restore the whole Session?

Yes. A saved Session reopens its tabs. Undo, right after an Untangle, reopens the closed tabs before removing the Session.

Do I need an account?

No. Free starts local and needs no account. Sign-in exists only if you choose planned sync and recovery.

What can be lost in local-only mode?

Local-only data lives in this browser. Removing the extension, resetting the profile, or losing the device can lose it. That is why export is always one click away, and why sync and recovery are planned.

What does sync recovery mean for privacy?

Planned synced data will be encrypted in transit and at rest. We will describe recovery in precise, non-clever language before it ships, and will not claim more than the system does.

What does AI receive?

Nothing, until you turn it on. When you do, a plain disclosure explains what is sent, why it is needed, and which provider processes it, before anything leaves the browser.

What happens when I cancel or downgrade?

Nothing is deleted. Items above the free limits become read-only until you upgrade again or trim below the cap. Your data stays exportable.
