EveryTab

EveryTab is a free, local-first Chrome extension for keeping browser tabs organized. Save pages to Inbox, arrange Sessions, apply Labels, snooze pages, suspend unused tabs and find anything again with one search. An optional Vault keeps a second copy in a folder you control. There is no EveryTab account, server, analytics or telemetry; your data stays on your device.

Install

• Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/everytab/blepbfaplpkknpbjbdnacjkjcjeliafh (the official release).
• Video tour (85 seconds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DMks7AOpPQ
• From source (any version in this repository):
  1. Open chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode.
  2. Choose Load unpacked and select the extension/ directory.
  3. Reload the extension after changing its source.

There is no build step and no package installation. The runtime version is the version field in extension/manifest.json; releases are tagged with the same number.

Project map

• extension/: the extension. js/ holds the runtime modules, css/ the styles, _locales/ the message catalogues, test/ the test suites.
• tools/: the test runner, inventory validator, browser harnesses, codebase guide generator and the Chrome Web Store packager. See tools/README.md.
• site/: the public landing copy and privacy policy.
• docs/: localization glossary and the open-source license research.

Guides:

• Architecture: how the parts fit together, with a beginner's map.
• Engineering: boundaries and safety rules for changes.
• Testing: automated checks and what still needs Chrome.
• Product, design system and domain terms.
• Changelog: every runtime version.
• Beginner's codebase guide, searchable file explorer and source atlas: generated from the current source by node tools/build-codebase-guide.mjs --write. The test gate checks that they are current.

Run the tests

Node.js 22 is the supported version (.nvmrc). No dependencies are installed.

node tools/test.mjs --check-inventory   # every test/tool file has a decision
node tools/test.mjs                     # portable and performance suites
node tools/test.mjs --list              # executable suite IDs
node tools/test.mjs --lane browser      # real Chrome; set CHROME_BIN if needed

test-inventory.json drives both local runs and CI (.github/workflows/extension-cross-platform.yml). Browser suites use disposable profiles and synthetic data only. Never run tests against a personal Vault or browser profile.
