About Mini Tab Sidebar
Lose track of your windows and tabs? Mini Tab Sidebar puts every window and
every tab in one searchable panel — always expanded, always current.
Press Ctrl+I, type a few letters, hit Enter. You're on the tab, whichever
window it was hiding in.
WHAT IT DOES
• All windows and their tabs in one list, color-striped per window, updating live
• Search across every window — titles and URLs, arrow keys + Enter, recently closed tabs included
• Pins: one-click access to the sites you live in; jumps to the existing tab wherever it is, or opens it
• Three ways to use it: side panel, spotlight-style dropdown under the toolbar icon, or a pop-out window you can park beside your dock (it remembers its size and position)
• Duplicate finder: see which tabs are open twice, close the extras in one click
• Tab hygiene: sleep a memory-hungry tab, mute a noisy one, middle-click to close, drag tabs between windows
• Window nicknames and a tab-count badge on the toolbar icon
WHAT IT DOESN'T DO
No accounts. No servers. No analytics. No tracking. Everything stays in your
browser — even favicons come from Chrome's local cache. The privacy policy is
one paragraph because there's nothing to disclose.
FOR TERMINAL PEOPLE (optional)
An open-source local companion (desk-bar, on GitHub) can list your tmux
terminal sessions in the same sidebar — searchable, grouped by ssh host, one
click focuses the right terminal window. Linux + tmux. The extension works
fully without it.
TIP
Chrome only allows side panels to open from a click or keyboard shortcut, so
new windows start without the panel — press Ctrl+I, or use the pop-out for an
always-visible bar.
