100 tabs. 9 groups. Zero work.

A Chrome extension that auto-groups every tab into 9 color-coded categories. The map updates as you browse. No account, no cloud, no telemetry.

• Auto-grouping by domain — every new tab lands in its category group within 300ms
• Zombie discard — tabs idle 15+ minutes get suspended, RAM returns
• Workspace snapshots — save a tab session by name, restore later
• Focus mode — collapse every group except one, one click
• Duplicate close — find and merge tabs with the same URL
• Custom domains — drop-down on any ungrouped tab assigns it to a category
• Auto-collapse — idle groups fold themselves after 30 minutes
• Activity drift — recently-touched groups drift right, old ones settle left

201+ domains pre-classified. Add your own via the popup.

Tab Orbit makes zero network requests. There is no server, no analytics, no telemetry. Your tab data lives in chrome.storage.local on your machine. Uninstall removes everything.

The Chrome permissions requested are tabs, tabGroups, and storage. Nothing else.

git clone https://github.com/BogdanAlRa/tab-orbit.git
cd tab-orbit

Then in Chrome:

1. Go to chrome://extensions
2. Enable Developer mode (top right)
3. Click Load unpacked
4. Select the tab-orbit folder

The default category map is in domain-map.js. To customize:

• Add a domain through the UI — click any ungrouped tab's "Assign" button
• Edit the map directly — open domain-map.js, add domains to a category's array
• Add a category — add a new entry to CATEGORIES with color, emoji, description, and domains

Available colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink, grey.

For each tab URL, Tab Orbit resolves the hostname against the category map in this order:

1. Exact match (claude.ai → AI TOOLS)
2. Prefix match (localhost:3000 → PROJECTS via prefix rule)
3. Subdomain walk (a.b.example.com → b.example.com → example.com)

If nothing matches, the tab stays ungrouped — you can assign it manually.

Issues and PRs welcome. The default domain map will grow over time — if a popular domain is missing, open an issue or PR with the addition.
