About TabTether - New Tab Reason Reminder
TabTether is a small Chrome productivity extension for anyone who opens a tab with a purpose, gets pulled away, and later wonders what the tab was supposed to be for.
Every new tab starts with one focused question: “What is this tab for?” Type a tiny reason, save it, and TabTether keeps that reason visible in the tab title while the new tab page is open. When you need context later, open the toolbar popup to see the current tab’s saved reason and your recent local reason history.
Why install TabTether:
- Remember the purpose behind each new tab.
- Reduce mystery tabs and context switching.
- Save short reasons in seconds.
- See the reason in the tab title before browsing away.
- Recall or update the current tab’s reason from the toolbar popup.
- Keep recent tab reasons on your own device.
Privacy-first by design:
- No account required.
- No analytics.
- No ads.
- No remote servers.
- No host permissions.
- No browsing history permission.
- Reasons are stored locally in Chrome extension storage.
- The optional search/URL field only performs user-initiated browser navigation.
TabTether is intentionally lightweight. It does one job: help you attach a small purpose to a tab before the tab becomes clutter.
