Why Tab Warehouse
Developers keep the same page open in many versions: live, test, staging and localhost. Chrome's bookmark bar hides URLs and treats every link the same. Tab Warehouse fixes that:
- Every URL in full. Nothing is truncated, so you always see which host you are about to open.
- Tags. Each link gets a PROD, TEST, STAGE or LOCAL tag, or one of your own (QA, UAT …), from rules you write.
- Tag matrix. See the same page across all versions in one table, and jump from TEST to PROD in one click.
- No lock-in. Your links stay real Chrome bookmarks. They sync with your Google account and show in Chrome's bookmark manager. Uninstall the extension and nothing is lost.
Features
Home
- Opens on every new tab: a large clock, the date and your link tiles.
- Tiles are a normal bookmark folder called Home in Other bookmarks, created empty on first start. Add your own links in Settings › Home page.
- Drag tiles to reorder. Right-click a tile to change its icon (upload or URL), edit it, open it in a new tab or remove it (with undo).
- Official icons for Google apps (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Keep, Meet, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms); Chrome's favicon for everything else; on Home, Google's favicon service when Chrome has none, then a letter.
- Background image, darkness, blur, color, clock size, 12/24-hour, seconds, icon size and icons per row — all with a live preview.
Sidebar
- A full-width search box with Home and Board tabs under it.
- One entry per folder under your root folder, with link counts.
- Drag folders into your own order. The order is saved in the extension; Chrome's tree is never reordered.
- Categories group folders (for example "Daily" and "Rarely used"), with collapse and drag reorder.
- Give a category, a folder or a section a color (6 presets or any custom color) and one emoji icon from its menu. Backup › Export JSON keeps them.
- Drop a link on a folder to move it there, or on the Home button to add it to Home.
- Resizable (180–440 px) and themeable: a solid color or a blurred copy of your Home background.
Board
- The Board tab next to Home shows every folder as a column of cards, side by side, grouped into lanes by category (or in one row).
- Each card has the favicon, title, full URL and env badge. Folders with sections show them as small headers inside the column.
- Drag cards between columns or onto a section header to move them, or within a column to reorder (Manual sort). Drag a column header to change the folder order.
- Add a link at the bottom of any column, delete one with undo, and filter every column at once.
Folder page
- Full URLs that wrap instead of truncating. Show the title first or the URL first.
- Sort per folder: manual, name, URL, tag, date added or host.
- Sections: split a folder into groups such as "In progress" or "Blocked". Each section is a real subfolder, so it syncs too.
- Inline edit, right-click menus, a folder filter, Open all and Copy all URLs.
- An Open pill marks a link that is open in a tab (also in search and in Today's top list).
- Delete a link and undo it within 8 seconds.
Notes and priority
- Give a link a short note (up to 200 characters) and a priority: High, Medium or Low. Set them in the popup when you save, in the edit form, or from the row menu.
- Priority links come first, under High, Medium and Low headers, with a colored stripe. Your sort still applies inside each group. In folders with sections, priority links go first inside each section.
- Filter buttons: High, Medium, Low or Has note. The folder filter and search also find the text in your notes.
- Drop a link on a priority header to give it that priority.
- Notes stay on this computer. Backup › Export JSON includes them.
Due dates
- Give a link a due date, with a time if you want one. Set it in the popup when you save (press Due), in the edit form, or from the row menu.
- Overdue links show a red chip. The Overdue and Has due date filter buttons find them.
- Today's top list (the row above your folders in the sidebar) is a checklist of every link due today or overdue, plus the upcoming ones. Tick a link (or open it from Today) to mark it done; done links are deleted the next day with Undo. The row shows how many are still open (
99+ above 99), and Home shows the next one as Up next.
- A backup never carries a tick, and Undo of a deleted link brings back its note, priority and date but not its tick, so nothing is deleted by surprise. Only a visible tab deletes done links.
- The due chip sits on the right of the row, so the dates line up.
- Turn on Also add to Google Calendar to open a filled-in Google Calendar event after you save. Google sends the reminder. The extension asks for no extra permission.
