One click: understands your open tabs and sorts them into named Chrome tab groups. Your browser remembers what you were doing — even when you don't. At any moment you've got 25 tabs open: a trip you're planning, an apartment hunt, a PR you're shipping, a thread you meant to read. Shelve turns that wall of tabs into named Chrome tab groups in one click — and lets you put whole projects away and pick them back up days later. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Shelve groups by intent, not by domain. Ten tabs from the same site won't collapse into one pile: the research thread files under Research, the essay under Reading. Same site, different jobs, different groups. ORGANIZE IN ONE CLICK • Groups loose tabs by task and intent, as a visible cascade • Files new tabs into the groups you already have • Orders focused work first, entertainment last • Review mode: inspect proposed groups and apply only the ones you want • Custom instructions: your rules, e.g. "keep work and personal in separate groups" TALK TO YOUR TABS • "the hotel under $200 a night" — Shelve jumps to the right tab out of twenty hotel tabs • Ask a question and get the answer from your open tabs • Create, merge, rename, recolor, or dissolve groups in plain language SHELVE A WHOLE PROJECT • Stash a group: its tabs close behind an AI "where you left off" brief — prices, options, what was still unchecked • Resume reopens everything as a fresh group, days or weeks later • Disabled in incognito by design — nothing from private windows is ever saved QUICK ACTIONS • Close duplicates, merge windows, ungroup everything, undo the last action • Local-only stats: tabs sorted, shelved projects, your streak STARTS FREE, THEN YOUR CHOICE Works out of the box with a built-in free tier — no signup, no API key. For unlimited use, add your own key (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini) or run a fully local model with Ollama. Shelve itself stays free, and a budget cap estimates provider spend from token usage and stops at your limit. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your API keys live in local extension storage and are never synced • Tab titles and URLs are sent only to the AI provider you selected — no analytics, no tracking • With your own key there is no Shelve server in the path at all; the optional free tier routes through a minimal zero-logging relay that stores only anonymous usage counters • Page snippets are read only for ambiguous or shelved tabs, only if you grant the optional page-access permission — and each feature asks you to acknowledge this once • Stats are local-only counters; group exports are created locally Privacy policy: https://tryshelve.com/privacy WORKS EVERYWHERE CHROMIUM DOES Chrome, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi — any Chromium browser with Manifest V3 tab groups. PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED • "tabs" + "tabGroups" — read titles/URLs of open tabs and create or manage groups. This is the whole point of the extension. • "storage" — your settings, keys, stashes, and stats, stored locally • Optional "all sites" access — requested only when a feature needs a short page snippet; decline it and everything else still works Shelve is in beta and shipping fast.
