About WhyTab
Your tabs are how you think. WhyTab helps you think better.
Free. No ads. No accounts. No subscriptions. Everything stays on your device.
Click "Save & close tabs" and everything in your current window becomes a named collection—automatically titled from what you were doing, like "Mostly GitHub — Friday evening" or "React docs — Tuesday morning." Your browser clears. Nothing is lost.
WhyTab is built for people who research, read, and explore in tabs. It's not a bookmark manager, and it's not a flat list like OneTab. It's an organised, searchable archive of your open sessions—one that stays clean over time.
What you can do:
→ Save an entire window as a collection in one click
→ Save a single tab to any collection without leaving the page
→ Search across every saved tab by title, URL, or tag
→ Pin collections you return to often
→ Use Prune mode to clear out old sessions quickly
→ Set automatic local backups—daily, weekly, or monthly—straight to your Downloads folder
→ Switch between light, dark, and system themes
Private by design: WhyTab has no server and no account. Your tabs, collections, and notes live only in your browser and never leave your device—nobody else can see them, not even the developer. Export everything anytime.
