ThisPanel – Side Panel Tab Manager

Your browser, organized at last. Too many tabs piling up? ThisPanel is a side panel tab manager built into Chrome — Spaces, Folders, Favorites, and an Archive, all without leaving the browser. Local-first. No account. No cloud. One Space per project — one click to switch. ═══════════════════════════ SPACES — your tab workspaces, one per context • Create up to 3 Spaces (Work, Personal, Research, or anything) on the free plan. • Each Space is a separate world: its own Favorites, Folders, and tab list. • Switch instantly with the keyboard or the Omnibox. Never lose your place again. FAVORITES — the tabs you use every day • Star up to 16 tabs per Space for one-click access. • Adaptive grid, drag-and-drop reorder, custom titles. • Starred tabs move to the front of your tab strip, so they are always in the same place. FOLDERS — declutter without losing structure • Named folders keep related work together — no more tab clutter. • Drag tabs in and out. Collapse folders you're not using. TODAY — what's actually open right now • Every open tab in the current window, filtered by Space. • Star, open, activate, close, archive, or move tabs — without touching the tab bar. • Native split-view pairs stay grouped in the sidebar. ARCHIVE — close tabs without losing them • Archive tabs you want later. Restore with a single click. • Free plan keeps up to 100 archived items. COMMAND PALETTE — keyboard-first tab control • Cmd/Ctrl+K to fuzzy-search tabs, spaces, folders, and actions. • Arrow keys + Enter. No mouse required. OMNIBOX — jump from the address bar • Type "thispanel" in the URL bar, press Tab. • Jump to a space, a favorite, a tab, or the sidebar instantly. • Does not change your default search engine or override the new tab page. ═══════════════════════════ PRIVACY BY DEFAULT — a local tab manager • Local-first. All your workspace data lives in chrome.storage.local on your own device. • No account required to use the free plan. • No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking pixels. • Optional paid plans in the future may add features like cloud sync — always opt-in, never required. • Read our full privacy policy: https://thispanel.app/privacy-policy WHO THIS IS FOR • Knowledge workers who live in their browser. • Researchers who keep 30+ tabs open across contexts. • Developers who manage dozens of tabs across projects, dev tools, and documentation. • Anyone who's ever typed "too many tabs" into Google. ═══════════════════════════ FREE PLAN — NO TRIAL, NO PAYWALL • Spaces: up to 3 · Folders per Space: up to 10 · Favorites per Space: up to 16 · Archive: up to 100 • All core features included.
