Shift Tab

Shift Tab is a browser tab manager for people who want to keep separate browsing contexts organized and switch between them quickly. It saves tab groups and lets them be toggled with a single keybind, with Alt+S shown as the default shortcut.

The extension supports named tab groups that can be filled manually by URL or by capturing everything currently open. Groups can be edited, reordered, or deleted at any time, and the current tabs are saved automatically when switching. It also supports importing open tabs in one click, syncing groups across devices with Chrome Sync, and switching back and forth between groups without hunting through menus or clicking through tabs. The page also says groups can have colors for visual recognition, important groups can be pinned so they are not cycled past, and tab groups can be scheduled to switch at set times. It adapts to dark and light themes based on system preferences, with a manual toggle as well.

Shift Tab is available as a Chrome extension and is offered in a free version and a Pro upgrade. The free plan includes two tab groups, the Alt+S keybind toggle, dark and light theme support, import of open tabs, and Chrome Sync storage. Pro is listed as a one-time payment of $9 for lifetime access, with unlimited tab groups, per-group colors, pinning, scheduled tab switching, future updates, and priority support. The page also describes it as built for focus and simplicity, and as useful for people organizing their browsers for work, personal, or research contexts.
