About

Tabisto is a visual bookmark manager and new tab dashboard for the Chrome browser. Created by DevDiggers Technologies, it was built for power users who need a calm, efficient, and well-organized browser experience without the clutter found in typical new-tab extensions. By replacing the blank or noisy default Chrome new-tab page with a highly functional workspace, Tabisto helps users regain control over their links, notes, and browser sessions.

The tool functions as a local-first dashboard that transforms the new-tab page into a central command hub. Users can drag and drop links into custom sections, organize them into distinct workspaces, and use a powerful command palette for rapid navigation. Designed to be fast and privacy-focused, Tabisto loads instantly and operates fully offline, with optional cloud sync for users who wish to keep their data consistent across multiple machines.

Some of the key features are:

  • Visual Bookmarks: Organize links into custom sections that you arrange yourself, with favicons loading directly from your browser to ensure speed and privacy.
  • Workspaces: Create separate environments for different contexts like Personal, Work, or side projects to eliminate unrelated tab noise.
  • Saved Sessions: Snapshot a set of open tabs and bring the entire group back with a single click, ideal for repeatable workflows.
  • Command Palette: Press ⌘K to search through all bookmarks, workspaces, sessions, and settings in a single unified interface.
  • Quick Notes: Jot down thoughts or scratchpad items directly on the new tab page without leaving your workspace.
  • Reminders: Set time-sensitive notifications for bookmarks with quick chips for specific intervals like 15 minutes, 1 hour, tonight, or tomorrow.
  • Customization: Personalize the experience with various themes, accent colors, and background options, allowing you to tailor the aesthetic to your preferences.

Operating the tool is simple and intuitive, starting from the moment you install the extension. Upon opening a new tab, you are presented with a clean interface where you can immediately begin importing your existing browser bookmarks or creating new ones. By clicking and dragging, you can sort your links into categorized sections. Users can switch between workspaces to quickly change focus, use the command palette for instant access to any saved item, or save current browser states as sessions to manage memory and organization without manual bookmarking. Everything is stored locally, ensuring the dashboard remains responsive and functional regardless of internet connectivity.

Some common use cases include:

  • Organizing work-related tools and project links into a dedicated Work workspace to keep them separate from personal browsing.
  • Saving a specific group of research tabs for a client meeting as a session to restore instantly when needed.
  • Jotting down immediate to-do items or reminders about websites as quick notes on the dashboard for better task management.
  • Using the command palette to quickly jump to a specific favorite site without searching through browser history or long bookmark lists.
