TabMind

For the forty tabs you forgot you opened

You opened this tab
for a reason.

TabMind asks why, the moment a tab finishes loading. It pins your answer on the page, and taps you on the shoulder if you've drifted — without a single byte leaving your machine.

Four small habits, handled for you

Ask

One question, once

When a tab finishes loading, TabMind asks why you opened it. One line, no forms — and it never asks twice for the same tab.

Pin

A reason that stays put

Your answer sits in a small pill, top‑right, on every page you visit in that tab. Click the text to edit it inline, any time.

Time

A running count, top‑left

A quiet timer tracks minutes spent on the tab since it was opened — so “just a quick look” can't hide from you.

Nudge

A tap on the shoulder

Every 30 minutes by default — or however often you set — Chrome reminds you, in your own words, why the tab is still open.

How it actually runs

  1. 01

    Open a tab

    TabMind notices the moment it finishes loading and asks why, right there on the page — no popup blocked, no extra window.

  2. 02

    Answer, or skip it

    Type a reason, or skip. Either way you won't be asked again for that specific tab — even as you click through several pages in it.

  3. 03

    Stay honest

    The reason and a timer stay pinned while you browse. Drift too long, and a notification reads your own words back to you.

Nothing here talks to a server

TabMind runs entirely inside Chrome. Every reason and every timestamp stays in chrome.storage.local on your device — nothing is uploaded, tracked, or sold. Read the full privacy policy →
