Tab State

Tab State tracks the state of your mind, not just your tabs. It watches how long you actively read a page, how far you scrolled, and whether you copied or highlighted anything — then sorts every tab into Just Glanced, Partially Read, Deep Focus, or Ghost on a dashboard, with a one-line summary of what you did and where you stopped. Unlike tab managers that group by site or keyword, Tab State never guesses what a page is — it tracks how you engaged with it, so the same site can land in a different column depending on whether you actually read it. • Compact one-line rows: see every tab at once; hover one for its full card • A one-line summary on every card that starts with what the page is about • Details for any tab: where you stopped, what you copied, and an on-demand AI insight • Full history, kept forever: every tab by day, repeat visits grouped by site, a bar of where your reading time went, search and filters • Purge Ghost & Glanced tabs in one click, with undo • Follow-up notes that exempt a tab from ever being purged • A daily check-list, a one-line session recap, editable sort thresholds • Optional AI tab grouping — proposes groups, you confirm, they appear on the dashboard and in Chrome's tab bar • Optional: ask your AI assistant about your tabs — "what was I reading about X last week?" — with Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Codex, through a small helper on your own computer • Works with zero setup — on-device AI (Gemini Nano) or a built-in summary by default; bring your own OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic API key for smarter summaries • Private by design: no accounts, no analytics, nothing sent anywhere unless you turn on an AI feature yourself Free and open source: github.com/asyau/tab-state
