Tab Management
Reimagined

Tabvana tracks every tab you visit, lets you tag and search them, and uses ML embeddings to surface semantically similar pages — all without sending your data anywhere.

v0.2.002 · Chrome MV3

Features

🏷

Smart Tagging

Attach human tags to any page. System tags like #stash, #flag, and #archive help you organise your browsing at a glance.

🔍

Semantic Search

Every page gets a 384-dimensional ML embedding (all-MiniLM-L6-v2, fully on-device). Find tabs by meaning, not just keywords.

Instant Full-Text Search

MiniSearch index built at startup keeps keystroke-latency search fast even with thousands of tracked pages.

🕰

Access History

Access times are stored with varying precision — second-level for recent visits, day-level for old ones — so history stays compact forever.

🔗

URL Graph

Tabvana records opener/opened/adjacent URL relationships, powering similarity suggestions based on your actual browsing flow.

🔒

Fully Private

Everything lives in IndexedDB on your machine. No telemetry, no cloud sync, no external network requests beyond the pages you browse.
