Tab manager that gives every project its own Chrome window with saved tabs, groups, and pinned state. Switch contexts instantly. Tired of 50 tabs from five projects crammed into one Chrome window? Slate gives every project its own window. Your tabs, tab groups and pinned tabs are saved as you work, and they come back exactly as they were when you return to the project. HOW IT WORKS Click the Slate icon and pick a project. If its window is already open, Slate brings it to the front. If not, Slate opens it with everything you had: the same tabs in the same order, the same groups, the same pinned tabs, and the tab you were last looking at. There is nothing to save by hand. Slate keeps each project up to date as you open, close and move tabs, so you can close a project window whenever you like and pick it up later. If Chrome restarts or crashes and brings your windows back on its own, Slate recognizes which project each one belongs to and carries on. WHAT ELSE IT DOES The toolbar icon shows the current project's initials in its color, so you always know which window you're in. Projects live in Chrome's side panel. Rename them, drag them into order, give each a color and an icon (335 Lucide icons, or upload your own image), or delete a project without closing its window. Export all your projects to a JSON file and import them on another computer. If you prefer the terminal, there's an optional bash script: slate open "Work", slate close "Work", slate list. You'll find it in the GitHub repository. WHY ANOTHER TAB MANAGER Session savers like OneTab and Session Buddy keep a list you restore by hand. Workspace tools like Workona put a whole new interface on top of your browser. Slate sits in between: a project is simply a real Chrome window that stays saved for you. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device, in Chrome's local extension storage. There is no account, no server and no analytics, Slate makes no network requests, and it never reads the content of the pages you visit. Permissions Slate asks for, and why: tabs, tabGroups: to save and restore your tabs' addresses, titles, pinned state and groups. storage, unlimitedStorage: to keep projects on your device, without the 10 MB cap that custom icons could otherwise hit. sidePanel: to show the project manager.
