Flocci Tabs — complete catalog (v1.3.3, generated 2026-07-29)
Flocci Tabs is a free Manifest V3 Chrome extension by Flocci Technologies that automatically organises
browser tabs into native colour-coded Chrome tab groups, names them with AI, and saves restorable cloud
snapshots of a window's group layout. Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/flocci-tabs/jhacmhdackbncakehnbhhmehclhnpeoi.
Site: https://tabs.flocci.in.
Real limits
- AI smart grouping: maximum 50 ungrouped tabs per request.
- AI group naming: reads at most 10 tab titles, capped at 20 output tokens.
- Chrome supports exactly 8 tab-group colours; no custom hex values.
- Flocci Tabs does not suspend tabs and makes no memory-saving percentage claim.
- Not open source. Not available for Safari.
Pricing
- Automatic colour-grouping: Free, unlimited — Drag-out grouping, adjacent grouping, colour cycling, rule templates, bulk actions and all three keyboard shortcuts. No account required.
- AI grouping & AI naming: 300 AI credits / month free — Included with a free Flocci account. Sign in with Google — there is no API key to paste.
- Beyond the free allowance: 30 credits per 1,000 AI tokens — Metered from the same Flocci credit wallet that every other Flocci app shares. The extension deep-links you to account.flocci.in/billing when you run out.
- Cloud snapshots: Included with a free Flocci account — Save and restore a window’s exact group layout across machines.
Features
- Drag-out auto-grouping — Drag a tab into a new window and a coloured, titled group appears — zero clicks. Implemented on chrome.windows.onCreated in the MV3 service worker, with a debounce so a burst of window events does not create duplicate groups.
- AI smart grouping — One click reads every ungrouped tab and organises them into named topics. POST /api/flocci/ai/suggest-groups accepts a maximum of 50 tabs per request, uses feature key smart_grouping, and scales max_tokens as 200 + 30 per tab. Anything the model leaves ungrouped falls through to a domain-recovery pass.
- AI group naming — Turns “New Group” into a name that actually describes what is inside it. POST /api/flocci/ai/generate-name reads at most 10 tabs from the group and caps the model at 20 output tokens, which is why names come back short and cheap rather than paragraph-shaped.
- Cloud snapshots — Save a window’s exact group layout and restore it on any machine. Snapshots persist to a Postgres group_snapshots table keyed to your identity user id, storing the group tree as JSONB alongside tab_count and group_count. Restores are scoped to your account only.
- 8-colour smart cycling — Eight Chrome group colours, assigned so two live groups rarely look alike. The palette is CONFIG.TAB_GROUPS.COLORS — blue, red, yellow, green, pink, purple, cyan, grey — with 14 hard-coded domain colour hints and blue as the fallback.
- Adjacent tab grouping — Open a tab next to a group and it joins the group by itself. Driven by chrome.tabs.onCreated and onMoved with a positional check against existing group boundaries in the same window.
- Bulk group actions — Ungroup all, close all groups, merge all — scoped to one window or every window. Every bulk action reads the scope toggle before it runs, so “All Windows” genuinely walks chrome.windows.getAll rather than acting on the focused window only.
- Keyboard shortcuts — Three shipped shortcuts for the three actions you repeat most. Declared in manifest.json under "commands" with per-platform suggested keys, so Chrome shows them in its own shortcut manager rather than trapping keys at the page level.

Guides
- How to automatically group tabs in Chrome — Chrome can create tab groups but will not create them for you. Install Flocci Tabs, then drag any tab out into a new window: a coloured, titled group appears automatically. For tabs already open, click AI Group All in the popup and up to 50 ungrouped tabs are sorted into named topic groups in one pass.
- How to save Chrome tab groups and restore them later — Chrome does not let you save a named tab group and re-open it later — closing the window loses the layout. Flocci Tabs adds cloud snapshots: one click stores the window’s group names, colours, tab order and URLs against your Flocci account, and restore rebuilds it on any machine you sign into.
- How to get your tab groups back after Chrome crashes — Chrome’s “Restore pages?” prompt brings back tabs but frequently loses the group names and colours around them. If you took a Flocci Tabs snapshot, restoring it rebuilds the full layout — names, colours and order — regardless of what Chrome managed to recover on its own.
- Chrome using too much memory because of tabs — what actually helps — Memory pressure comes from the number of live renderer processes, not from how tabs are labelled. Chrome’s built-in Memory Saver suspends inactive tabs and helps most. Grouping helps second-order: when you can see which cluster is dead weight, you close twenty tabs in one action instead of hunting them one by one.
- Chrome tab group colours explained — all eight, with hex values — Chrome allows exactly eight tab-group colours: blue, red, yellow, green, pink, purple, cyan and grey. You cannot add a ninth or set a custom hex. Flocci Tabs assigns them automatically — first by domain hint, then by a rotation that avoids repeating a colour already visible nearby.
- How to name Chrome tab groups automatically — Chrome makes you type every group name yourself. Flocci Tabs names them for you: when a group is created, or when it crosses a multiple of three tabs, the extension reads up to ten tab titles from that group and asks Flocci’s AI service for a short descriptive label, then renames the group silently.
- How to group Chrome tabs by domain or website — Flocci Tabs groups by domain in two places: the 14 built-in domain colour hints assign a consistent colour per site, and the domain-recovery pass sweeps anything the AI leaves ungrouped into per-domain groups. You can also write your own domain rules in the options page, with wildcards.
- How to merge all Chrome windows into one window — Chrome can only merge windows by dragging tabs one at a time. Flocci Tabs adds Merge All: press Ctrl + Shift + M (⌘ + Shift + M on macOS) and every group from every open window is moved into a single new window, with empty leftovers cleaned up.
- How to ungroup all Chrome tabs at once — Chrome makes you ungroup each group individually from its right-click menu. Flocci Tabs ships a single command — Ctrl + Shift + U, or ⌘ + Shift + U on macOS — that dissolves every group in the current window, or across every window if the scope toggle is set to All Windows.
- A free AI tab manager that does not ask for an API key — Most AI tab extensions ask you to paste an OpenAI or Gemini key, which means you pay the model provider directly and your key sits in browser storage. Flocci Tabs runs AI through Flocci’s own service: you sign in with Google, and your free Flocci plan includes 300 AI credits a month. No key, ever.
- Chrome me tab group kaise banaye (Hindi + English guide) — Chrome me tab group manually banta hai: tab par right-click karo, “Add tab to new group” choose karo, phir naam aur colour type karo. Flocci Tabs ise automatic kar deta hai — tab ko drag karke naye window me le jao, aur ek coloured group apne aap ban jaata hai, naam ke saath.
- Are tab manager extensions safe? What Flocci Tabs can and cannot see — A tab manager needs the "tabs" permission, which exposes tab titles and URLs. That is a real trust decision. Flocci Tabs sends only titles and domains, only when you invoke an AI action, only to Flocci’s own backend — never page contents, never form data, never a third-party analytics endpoint.
Use cases
- Developers — Context lives across two monitors and four windows, and Chrome renders all of it as identical grey rectangles.
- Researchers — Sources for three different sub-arguments are interleaved in one flat strip, so every context switch costs a scan.
- Students — Study tabs and distraction tabs are visually indistinguishable, which is exactly how three hours disappear.
- Product managers — Every tool is a different tab in the same undifferentiated strip; switching between two initiatives means re-finding six tabs each time.
- Writers and editors — Losing the thread costs more than losing the tab — every hunt through the strip is a broken sentence.
- Designers — Reference tabs outnumber working tabs three to one and look exactly the same in the strip.
- Sales teams — Account context bleeds across deals; the wrong pricing sheet on a call is a real cost.
- Customer support — Every escalation adds tabs and nothing ever removes them, so by mid-shift the strip is unreadable.
- Recruiters — Twenty near-identical LinkedIn tabs is the worst case Chrome’s tab strip has — titles truncate to the same six characters.
- Traders and analysts — Long-lived dashboards get lost among short-lived research tabs, and merging windows by hand risks closing the wrong thing.
FAQ
- What is Flocci Tabs?
- Flocci Tabs is a free Chrome extension that organises your browser tabs into native, colour-coded Chrome tab groups automatically. Drag a tab into a new window and a titled, coloured group appears. Sign in with Google and AI names your groups and sorts your open tabs into topics.
- Is Flocci Tabs free?
- Yes. Installing it is free, and automatic colour-grouping is unlimited and works without any account at all. AI grouping and AI naming use your Flocci account: the free plan includes 300 AI credits a month, after which AI generation is metered at 30 credits per 1,000 tokens from the same wallet that every other Flocci app shares.
- Do I need an OpenAI or Gemini API key?
- No. Flocci Tabs used to ask for your own key and no longer does. AI runs through Flocci’s own service behind a single Google sign-in, so there is no key to generate, paste, rotate or leak.
- Does Flocci Tabs work with Chrome’s built-in tab groups?
- It uses them. Every group Flocci Tabs creates is a real Chrome tab group with one of Chrome’s eight native colours. Nothing is a custom overlay, so collapsing, dragging and right-clicking all behave exactly as you expect.
- Can I save a tab group and open it again later?
- Yes, with cloud snapshots. A snapshot stores the window’s group names, colours, tab order and URLs against your Flocci account, and restore rebuilds it — after a crash, after a restart, or on a completely different computer. Chrome has no native equivalent.
- Which browsers does Flocci Tabs support?
- Any Chromium browser that supports Manifest V3 and the tabGroups API: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera and Vivaldi. It is distributed through the Chrome Web Store.
- What data does Flocci Tabs send anywhere?
- Only tab titles and domains, only when you trigger an AI action, and only to api.tabs.flocci.in. Page contents, form data and browsing history are never transmitted. Automatic colour-grouping runs entirely on your device and sends nothing at all.
- How many tabs can AI grouping handle at once?
- Up to 50 ungrouped tabs per request. Anything beyond that is rejected rather than silently truncated, and AI naming reads up to 10 tabs from a group when deciding what to call it.
- How is Flocci Tabs different from OneTab or Toby?
- OneTab closes your tabs into a flat list and Toby is a manual board of saved collections. Flocci Tabs leaves your tabs open and makes them legible in place — automatic colour-coded native tab groups with AI names — and adds snapshots when you do want to park a layout.
- Does Flocci Tabs reduce Chrome’s memory usage?
- Not directly, and we will not claim a percentage. Chrome’s own Memory Saver is the right tool for RAM. What grouping gives you is the ability to see which whole cluster is finished and close twenty tabs in one action instead of twenty.
- Do I need a separate account for Flocci Tabs?
- No. One Flocci account signs you into every Flocci product, and the same credit wallet covers AI across all of them. If you already use another Flocci app, Flocci Tabs is one Google click away from working.
- Who makes Flocci Tabs?
- Flocci Technologies, a bootstrapped AI-native software company founded by Md Afsar Hussain in Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. Flocci Tabs is one of 30+ interconnected products on the same identity, credit and AI platform.
