A note from the maker

Why I built Tab-da

10× your browser productivity with !1 !2 !3 !4 but FIVE powerful features: Tab Launcher, Tab Switcher, Tab Toggler, Window Control, Page Boost.

Tab Launcher

Find any tab the moment you think of it.

It keeps every page within reach — whether you have 10 windows or 100 tabs open — so the tab you need is only two key presses away.

Space
to activate

Find, jump, and switch tabs without ever reaching for the mouse

The cool bits

Small touches that power up your tab game

Hot Tabs

Press 09 in the Launcher to jump straight to a tab.

Turn on tab pagination in Settings, then move between pages with or , so every tab is only a number press away.

Your pinned tabs are just as quick to access: type P followed by the pin number.

Turn on tab pagination in Settings so every tab is only a number key away

Hot Keys

⌥W Move to window
⌥G Move to tab group
⌥C Change position
⇧⌥U Copy URL
⌥H Share

Act on tabs instantly with keyboard shortcuts

Domain search

Got lots of tabs open from the same site?

Type its domain, press Space, and work through its tabs one by one.

Open a page, do what you need, then reopen Launcher to pick up where you left off in that site’s backlog.

Type in a domain so you can do a contextual sweep of tabs

Filters

Use filters to keep Launcher focused on the tabs that matter right now. Press F to set up your filters (or the drop menu on the top right).

You can lock onto a specific tab group or window. Or zoom out to see everything.

You can focus on specific windows or groups

Sort

Bring order to busy tab lists. Press S to change the sort (or the drop menu on the top right).

Sort the Launcher when a different view makes the right tab easier to spot. Or when you want to work through tabs in a specific sequence, like oldest first or by source.

Sort tabs in the order that works best for you at the time

Pro tip

A hack I use for tabs I regularly return to: search for the tab in Launcher once, then reopen Launcher and hit whenever you want to jump back.

Launcher opens new tabs, too.

It’s not just for finding open tabs. Multiple ways to start your next tab run from the keyboard.

Shortcuts

Add up to 10 shortcuts for your favourite sites. Type S0S9 to open one instantly or — this is the cool bit — separate sites with commas to open several with the same shortcut.

There’s also a more controlled way to work through your favourite sites each day. Keep reading to the end — it’s a good one.

Open multiple sites with one shortcut: type SS to pick from a list, like in the clip, or type the shortcut directly e.g. S0.

Continuity

See new tabs from your other devices and pick up where you left off on your computer.

New tabs from your other devices are spotted immediately, so you can choose which ones to open, where, and how

Hot Lists

Open lists with ease using two-letter shortcuts. (Or type / to quickly pick one.)

More ways to bounce

Add shortcuts for different ways to cycle through tabs, useful at different times:

    visited
    Retrace the tabs I was just using.
  • Recently
    opened
    Switch through the tabs I opened most recently.
  • Pinned Check through my always-open tabs.
  • Same
    domain
    Go through all other tabs from this site.

Easily toggle between your pinned tabs

Cycling through tabs from the same domain
(before settling on a pair to toggle between)

How deep is your tab?

Use a short repeat window for quick two-tab switching, or a longer one to cycle further back and find the tab you want to pair with your current one.

1s =After a second, pressing the shortcut again will take you back to where you started, i.e. tab you were on when you pressed the shortcut at first.

3s =You have a 3 second window to keep cycling through the list of tabs. If you don't make a selection within this time, the next shortcut press will reset to first tab.

Where is all that noise coming from?

Good news — get the answer from a dedicated shortcut.

Instantly switch to the tab playing audio, whether you want to stop it, mute it, or keep listening. And if there’s more than one source, you can cycle through them.

This just works, no matter how many tabs or windows you have open.

Jump straight to the tab that is playing audio

Window Control makes context switching effortless

Window Control

Mission accepted: command your entire browser stack.

All your windows, tab groups, and pinned tabs neatly stacked for quick switching. Think Tab Switcher, one level up: a bird’s-eye view of your browser activity.

Power Moves Worth knowing about:

Clean up your windows

Bring order to busy windows by sorting tabs in the way that helps you find or review them fastest.

Giving structure to a busy window by domain sorting tabs

Pull your windows together

Page Boost

TAB /tab/ noun: short for Tab Action Button.

to activate

The TAB is the fastest way to take action on a tab

FLOW

Browse without friction

In positive psychology, also known colloquially as being in the zone or focused, flow is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.1 1 Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, Beyond Boredom and Anxiety, 1975.

A TAB you’ll actually be happy to open Because this is one tab that pays you back in time.

Like a RSS reader

Open your TAB, then hit Next to move through tabs from the same site.

Handy when you’re in the mood for videos, catching up on the news, or working through related pages.

You can also surface this action for quick access.
Next action

Easily navigate to the next related tab, like your favourite reader app

Next action

It just flows

With the “Keep me in the flow” setting on, closing a tab moves you straight to the next tab from the same source, when available.

If you prefer to stay in control, leave it off and instead use M when you want to move to the next related tab

When you close a tab, you can now trust your browser to follow it up

Focus on the big picture

Remember, Tab Switcher’s Focus mode shows every tab in your current flow, so you can jump between them without losing your place.

to quickly find what you want to play next

Build your routine.

Staying in the zone matters. Getting into flow is the game changer. Routines help you start in the right place and keep moving.

Here’s how it works:
  1. Add a comma-separated list of sites to create a routine.
  2. Give it an optional name, so it’s easier to find later.
  3. Start it from Launcher by typing R plus its number, or type RR to choose from your Routines list.
  4. Press the Next button to move through the sequence of sites until the end — feel free to detour when you want.

A routine lets you go through a sequence of websites effortlessly

Pro tip

I’ve set up a few routines for different parts of my day: morning catch-ups, deep-work breaks, and winding down after work.

FAQ


Who is Tab-da for?

If you spend time in your browser every day and always have tabs to work through — many of them ignored until they pile up — Tab-da is for you. If that’s not you, although you may not feel the full benefit, there are still plenty of shortcuts, helpers, and thoughtful touches to make your browsing faster, smoother and just more enjoyable.

How do I make the most of it?

Really simple: learn the keyboard shortcuts. Start with Tab Launcher, Tab Switcher, and Window Control — just these three can make a big difference. The more you use them, the more natural they become. The rest are optional, but each one adds another little boost.

What’s your privacy policy?

No tracking. No analytics. Browsing data stays local. Learn more.

Does Tab-da work the same in Chrome and Safari?

Almost. Chrome supports every feature described on this site. Safari supports the core Tab-da experience, but some features are limited by Safari’s extension APIs, including access to lists like bookmarks and history, detecting new tabs from other devices, and tab group visibility or actions beyond the active group.

Is there a free version?

There's a 1-week free trial when you start a subscription that unlocks everything — you can cancel it at any time during the week. That should give you enough time to see if Tab-da is worth it. If you decide to continue, you can upgrade to a lifetime license too (remember to cancel your subscription when you switch).

Do you offer refunds?

Tab-da includes a 7-day free trial so you can try the full experience before paying. Because of that trial period, purchases are generally non-refundable once the paid plan starts.

For Chrome purchases through Lemon Squeezy, I can usually help more directly with billing questions or purchase issues. Safari purchases are handled through Apple’s App Store, so I have less ability to change or refund them directly, but I’m still happy to point you in the right direction.

What’s the introductory lifetime deal?

As a thank you to early adopters, the lifetime license is 40% off for the first 10,000 buyers. Once that milestone is reached, the lifetime price will be $99.99 (to be honest, I still think that’s great value for something designed to become an everyday browser essential).

How many devices does one license cover?

Subscription licenses cover a single device, whereas a lifetime license lets you use Tab-da on two devices. If you need any more, get in touch and I’ll see what I can do.

Can I buy licenses for a team?

Sure. Let me know your team’s requirements so I can help arrange the right volume licensing setup.

Do you offer education discounts?

Yep! If you’re a student or educator, get in touch from your education email. If eligible, I’ll happily send over a personal one-use code that gives you 50% off your first 12 months.

How do I manage my subscription?

For Chrome users, it’s via Lemon Squeezy, whereas Safari users must go to the Mac App Store.

Who built Tab-da?

Tab-da was built by Bardi, an independent developer with a background in human-computer interaction. After more than a decade working on award-winning games, he went indie to build award-winning apps with his own point of view. You can check them out here.
