Chrome Extension
Your Tabs.
Commanded.
A VS Code-style command palette for Chrome. Search, filter, and act on any tab without touching your mouse.
Press Ctrl+K to open anywhere
The Problem
You have 60 tabs open.
You can't find the one you need.
Tab chaos is real
Scrolling through a horizontal strip of favicons is not a workflow. It is a delay. With dozens of tabs open, the time cost of switching context adds up quickly.
Context switching kills focus
Every second spent hunting for a tab is a second pulled out of deep work. The overhead is not just time — it is the mental reset that comes with it.
Chrome's tab search barely helps
Chrome's built-in tab search returns results. It does not let you act on them. You still need your mouse to do anything useful.
Power users need power tools
If you regularly have 50 or more tabs open across multiple windows, the browser's default interface was not designed for you.
The Solution
A command system for tabs.
The command palette model — popularized by VS Code and tools like Spotlight — puts every action one keypress away. TabCLI brings that model to your browser tabs. One shortcut. One input. Complete control.

Features
Built for how power users actually work.
Instant Fuzzy Search
Type a partial title, URL fragment, or keyword. TabCLI returns the right tab in milliseconds — even with 300+ tabs open.
Command-Based Actions
Don't just navigate to a tab. Act on it. Close, pin, mute, duplicate, move, reload — all from the keyboard, all in one place.
Multi-Select Power
Select multiple tabs at once using the keyboard. Perform bulk actions without lifting your hands off the keys.
Domain & Window Filters
Target commands at a domain or window. `domain:notion.com` or `window:2` scopes your action precisely where you want it.
Built for 100+ Tabs
The interface does not slow down as your tab count grows. TabCLI stays fast and responsive regardless of how many tabs you have open.
Zero Mouse Dependency
The entire workflow — open palette, search, select, execute — requires no mouse interaction. Designed for keyboard-first users.
Who It's For
Made for people who live in the browser.
- —Developers switching between docs, PRs, staging, and localhost tabs
- —Startup founders with research, dashboards, and communication all open at once
- —Power users who treat the keyboard as the primary interface
- —Researchers managing dozens of source tabs across multiple topics
- —Anyone who consistently has 50 or more tabs open and pays the cost

Common questions.
Does TabCLI replace Chrome's built-in tab search?
It is a significant upgrade. Chrome's tab search lets you find a tab but requires the mouse to act on it. TabCLI lets you search and execute commands entirely from the keyboard.
Does it work across multiple windows?
Yes. TabCLI can search and operate across all open Chrome windows. You can filter by window using the `window:` prefix.
Is my tab data stored anywhere?
No. TabCLI reads your open tabs in real time and stores nothing. No history. No sync. No servers.
Does it support tab groups?
Support for Chrome tab groups is on the roadmap. The current version focuses on individual tab and window-level commands.
Is there a paid or Pro version?
TabCLI is currently free. A Pro version with advanced features is planned. Early users will be notified first.
