Show HN: I Made TabDock–Organize Tabs,Kbar,and Searchbar Commands in the Browser
tabdock.appHey HN!
I'm Angel, a recent grad who often juggles multiple projects at once. This leads to a clutter of unrelated tabs in my browser, making it hard to stay focused and organized. To solve this, I built TabDock, a tab manager that helps me stay organized by splitting my work into different windows.
Here’s what TabDock offers:
- New Tab Dashboard: A clean new tab page with a built-in calendar for quick scheduling. - Kbar Integration: Quickly search through open tabs or other tools. - Search Bar Commands: I’ve added customizable commands to the search bar because they’re cool and useful for opening tabs.
I’d love to hear any feedback you have or ways to improve it!
Thanks for checking it out!
How does this compare to Sideberry extension(which is only for Firefox, it is free and open source)? Being cross browser, might not matter in 90% of cases, because from what I've noticed, people usually use one browser.

That’s a good question! I didn’t know about Sideberry—it looks really interesting, and I’ll definitely check it out in more detail.
I agree, many users stick to one browser. My goal with cross-platform support is to eventually make TabDock available to more users, but for now, it’s only available on Chrome and browsers that support Chrome Web Store extensions.
In terms of how it compares, TabDock doesn’t just store your tabs in a list. The core idea is that you track entire windows, so if you make changes, your saved workspaces update automatically with the auto-save option or manually with the save button. This allows you to quickly switch between projects and only have the windows open that you’re actively working on. That’s probably the main difference, and I’ve also added some extra features like a cool new tab page, a Kbar, and searchbar commands to boost productivity.
I’m always open to feedback and ideas for improvement!
cool stuff! often have i get drowned in an endless swarm of tabs wit 8K reports at, this comes in very handy! Could you also list/port it to firefox addons, pls?
Thanks so much! Hopefully, TabDock can help with that. As for Firefox support, it’s definitely on the roadmap, but not coming very soon since I haven’t gotten many requests yet. However, I’ve been getting more lately, so it might come sooner than expected!
