About Smart Tab
Smart Tab turns your new tab page into a powerful bookmark dashboard — beautifully organized, instantly accessible, and 100%
private.
Why Smart Tab?
Managing dozens of browser tabs is overwhelming. Bookmarks are buried in menus. Smart Tab solves both problems by putting
everything you need on your new tab page — organized your way.
Key Features
⊞ Drag & Drop Everything
Drag open tabs directly into bookmark sections. Rearrange bookmarks and sections freely with intuitive drag and drop.
⊞ Multi-Window Tab Panel
See all open tabs across every Chrome window in one side panel. Pin the panel open or let it auto-hide on hover — your choice.
⊞ Section Templates (New in v1.1.0)
Start fast with 10 curated templates — Development, Design, AI Tools, Productivity, and more. Or start from scratch with an
empty section.
⊞ RSS Feed Sections (New in v1.1.0)
Subscribe to any RSS or Atom feed and see the latest articles right on your new tab. Feeds auto-refresh every hour. Your
subscriptions stay 100% local — no proxy servers, no tracking.
⊞ Link Health Monitor (New in v1.1.0)
Check any section for broken links with one click. Dead links are highlighted so you can clean up your bookmarks.
⊞ Smart Organization
Create unlimited sections to group bookmarks by project, topic, or workflow. Collapse sections to keep things tidy. Lock
sections to prevent accidental changes.
⊞ Open All Bookmarks at Once
Click the open-all button on any section to launch every bookmark in new tabs — perfect for starting your workflow instantly.
⊞ Instant Search
Find any bookmark in milliseconds. Search by title, URL, or description across all sections.
⊞ Grid & List Views with Tile Sizing
Switch between a visual grid layout and a compact list view. Choose tile sizes (S / M / L) to fit more or fewer bookmarks on
screen.
⊞ Themes & Custom Backgrounds
Dark, Light, or Auto theme. Seasonal backgrounds or upload your own image with adjustable opacity.
⊞ Keyboard Shortcuts
Assign Alt+Key shortcuts to jump to any section instantly. Speed up your workflow without touching the mouse.
⊞ Export & Import
Back up your entire bookmark collection as JSON. Restore or migrate between devices effortlessly. Export individual sections
too.
⊞ Multi-Language Support
Automatically detects your browser language. Supports English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.
⊞ Privacy First
All data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. No accounts, no servers, no tracking — your bookmarks
never leave your device. RSS feeds are fetched directly with per-site permission — no middleman.
⊞ Real-Time Sync
Open Smart Tab in multiple tabs? Changes sync instantly across all instances via Chrome storage events.

2. Drag tabs from the side panel into any section
