About tab•tally — Open Tab Counter & Warning
tab•tally is a minimal browser extension that keeps a quiet eye on your open tab count — and
lets you know, without drama, when things are getting out of hand.
────────────────────────────────────────
HOW IT WORKS
────────────────────────────────────────
Open a lot of tabs? tab•tally shows a live count badge on your toolbar the moment you cross
your threshold. A small, dismissible chip appears in the corner of the page: "you have 14 tabs."
That's it. No automation. No tab closing. No judgement.
────────────────────────────────────────
FEATURES
────────────────────────────────────────
• Live toolbar badge — updates instantly as you open and close tabs
• Configurable threshold — set your own limit directly in the popup
• Dismissible overlay — a calm chip in the bottom-right corner, gone when you say so
• Quiet by default — badge stays blank below your threshold, nothing clutters your browser
• Warning state — badge and chip shift to amber when you're well over your limit
• Works across all windows — counts every tab, not just the current window
• No data collected — nothing is tracked, stored remotely, or transmitted
────────────────────────────────────────
DESIGNED FOR
────────────────────────────────────────
Research sessions that spiral. Shoppers with forty product tabs. Anyone who wants awareness
without anxiety — a single number, not a lecture.
────────────────────────────────────────
