What is it?

Tab Harbor replaces Chrome's new tab page with a workspace that shows what is already open. Open tabs are grouped automatically by domain, homepage-style tabs go into a dedicated group, and you can also create manual groups and keep quick links nearby.

Saved sessions let you store a set of tabs, add to an existing session, restore it later, or collapse it to keep the overview tidy. A drawer handles todos with create, edit, delete, search and archive, and the search bar suggests open tabs, quick links, saved sessions and recent history.

The extension is a Manifest V3 Chrome extension with a plain frontend stack and no build step required. All data, including sessions, todos, quick links and theme settings, is stored in chrome.storage.local, with no backend or account.
