About Tab Shepherd

The intelligent tab manager. Search, group, and suspend tabs to save memory. Includes session saving and duplicate cleanup. Tab Shepherd acts as your personal flock master for browser tabs, helping you organize clutter, reduce memory usage, and stay focused. Key Features: 🔍 Smart Search Instantly find any tab using flexible "smart search". Typing "mail work" will find "Work Gmail" or "Mail - Work" regardless of the word order. 📂 Window Grouping See a clean, organized list of all your open tabs grouped by their window. 💾 Session Snapshots Working on a project? Save your current set of tabs as a named session and close them safely. Restore them later with a single click. 💤 Memory Saver (Lazy Loading) Restored sessions load in a "suspended" state. This means 50 tabs won't all start loading at once, saving your computer's memory and CPU. They only load when you click them. ⚡ Performance Tools • Suspend Inactive: Manually discard tabs you haven't used in a while to free up RAM. • Close Duplicates: One-click cleanup of duplicate tabs across all windows. 🌙 Dark Mode & Sidebar Features a beautiful dark mode interface that works as a popup or a persistent Side Panel ( Ctrl+Shift+U).
