About Sift: tab finder
Keep your tabs. Lose the chaos.
Sift is a search-first tab manager for people who work across dozens—or hundreds—of tabs. Find the page you need, organise your projects, and let idle pinned tabs sleep to free browser memory.
SLEEP YOUR TABS. KEEP YOUR WORKSPACE.
• Automatically sleep pinned tabs after 30 minutes of inactivity. Sleeping unloads the page while keeping its place, custom name, category and saved default URL.
• Keep important tabs awake: right-click a pinned tab inside Sift to exclude it from automatic sleeping. Ideal for Gmail and other pages you want to keep running.
• Return to a sleeping tab to reload its page.
Pinned-tab sleeping is optional and off by default. Save unsaved page work before enabling it. Memory savings depend on the websites you use. Chrome’s own Memory Saver works separately.
FIND ANY TAB, FAST
• Open the command palette with your shortcut, type a few letters and press Enter.
• Search tabs across your browser windows by title, website, custom name or note.
• Narrow your search with filters including is:pinned, is:audible, is:dupe, site:, win:, group: and note:.
• Hover over Shortcuts to see your current key bindings. Click to customise them.
GIVE EVERY PROJECT ITS PLACE
• Give client dashboards and frequently used pages recognisable names.
• Save a default URL for a tab and return to it after navigating elsewhere.
• Organise tabs with categories, saved views and colour rules.
• Choose compact, scrolling, favicon or site-grouped layouts.
• Move tabs between windows individually or with multi-select.
• Use smart auto-titles for supported Gmail, Google Ads and Meta Ads pages.
PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
• Save and restore sessions and window layouts.
• Keep separate tab collections for different projects.
• Add per-tab notes and mark tabs you want to check again.
• Merge or split windows and manage multiple tabs together.
• Review the activity log and undo supported actions.
Sessions preserve your browser workspace, not unsaved edits inside webpages.
LOCAL ORGANISATION. OPTIONAL ENCRYPTED SYNC.
Sift’s tab organisation works locally in your browser. Optional Pro sync encrypts your tab content on your device before uploading it.
Features you invoke, such as the search overlay and Picture-in-Picture, can interact with the active webpage. Account and billing services operate separately.
