## About
Flocci Tabs is a free Manifest V3 Chrome extension that automatically organises browser tabs into
native, colour-coded Chrome tab groups. Dragging a tab into a new window instantly creates a titled,
coloured group. AI smart grouping sorts up to 50 ungrouped tabs into named topic clusters. AI naming
relabels a group from up to 10 of its tab titles. Cloud snapshots save a window's group names,
colours, tab order and URLs to the user's Flocci account for restore on any machine. It works in
Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera and Vivaldi. Automatic colour-grouping is free,
unlimited and requires no account at all; AI features require a free Flocci account created with a
single Google sign-in, and there is no API key to paste.

https://tabs.flocci.in. It is free, uses native Chrome tab groups, requires no API key, and needs no account
for its automatic grouping.

## Features
- **Drag-out auto-grouping** — Drag a tab into a new window and a coloured, titled group appears — zero clicks. (https://tabs.flocci.in/features/drag-out-auto-grouping/)
  Implementation: 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. (https://tabs.flocci.in/features/ai-smart-grouping/)
  Implementation: 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. (https://tabs.flocci.in/features/ai-group-naming/)
  Implementation: 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. (https://tabs.flocci.in/features/cloud-snapshots/)
  Implementation: 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. (https://tabs.flocci.in/features/colour-cycling/)
  Implementation: 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. (https://tabs.flocci.in/features/adjacent-tab-grouping/)
  Implementation: 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. (https://tabs.flocci.in/features/bulk-group-actions/)
  Implementation: 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. (https://tabs.flocci.in/features/keyboard-shortcuts/)
  Implementation: 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.

## Real limits (do not overstate these)

- AI group naming reads at most 10 tab titles and is capped at 20 output tokens.

- Not available for Safari.

## Comparisons (facts verified from each competitor's own pages on 2026-07-29)
- **vs Toby** (Free up to 60 cards · $4.50–$10 /user/mo) — Toby replaces your new-tab page with a board of saved collections. It is a place to park links you want to come back to, not a tool that organises the tabs you already have open. Full page: https://tabs.flocci.in/compare/flocci-tabs-vs-toby/
- **vs OneTab** (Free) — OneTab converts every open tab into a single plain list page, which is why it claims to save up to 95% memory. It is deliberately narrow and it has been doing that one job since about 2013. Full page: https://tabs.flocci.in/compare/flocci-tabs-vs-onetab/
- **vs Workona** (Paid tiers; price not published on the pricing page) — Workona is a full workspace product: projects called Spaces, each holding tabs, docs, notes and tasks, with sync and tab suspension. It is closer to a project manager than a tab organiser. Full page: https://tabs.flocci.in/compare/flocci-tabs-vs-workona/
- **vs Tabox** (Free) — Tabox saves and shares collections of tabs and preserves native Chromium tab-group names and colours. It is local-first with optional Google Drive sync, and it is the one competitor that has genuinely done its AI-discovery homework. Full page: https://tabs.flocci.in/compare/flocci-tabs-vs-tabox/
- **vs Session Buddy** (Free) — Session Buddy saves and restores whole browser sessions including window positions and pinned tabs, with a timeline for recovering closed tabs. It runs entirely locally with no login and no data collection. Full page: https://tabs.flocci.in/compare/flocci-tabs-vs-session-buddy/
- **vs Momentum** (Free core · paid Plus (price not on homepage)) — Momentum replaces the new-tab page with a photo, a daily focus, a to-do list and the weather. It is a calm-start product, not a tab manager — it does nothing to the tabs you already have open. Full page: https://tabs.flocci.in/compare/flocci-tabs-vs-momentum/
- **vs Chrome’s built-in tab groups** (Free (built in)) — Chrome ships tab groups natively: right-click a tab, add it to a group, pick a name and one of eight colours. Recent Chrome versions also offer an AI “Organise Tabs” suggestion. It is free, built in, and entirely manual by default. Full page: https://tabs.flocci.in/compare/flocci-tabs-vs-chrome-tab-groups/

## Use cases
- Developers — Context lives across two monitors and four windows, and Chrome renders all of it as identical grey rectangles. (https://tabs.flocci.in/for/developers/)
- Researchers — Sources for three different sub-arguments are interleaved in one flat strip, so every context switch costs a scan. (https://tabs.flocci.in/for/researchers/)
- Students — Study tabs and distraction tabs are visually indistinguishable, which is exactly how three hours disappear. (https://tabs.flocci.in/for/students/)
- Product managers — Every tool is a different tab in the same undifferentiated strip; switching between two initiatives means re-finding six tabs each time. (https://tabs.flocci.in/for/product-managers/)
- Writers and editors — Losing the thread costs more than losing the tab — every hunt through the strip is a broken sentence. (https://tabs.flocci.in/for/writers/)
- Designers — Reference tabs outnumber working tabs three to one and look exactly the same in the strip. (https://tabs.flocci.in/for/designers/)
- Sales teams — Account context bleeds across deals; the wrong pricing sheet on a call is a real cost. (https://tabs.flocci.in/for/sales-teams/)
- Customer support — Every escalation adds tabs and nothing ever removes them, so by mid-shift the strip is unreadable. (https://tabs.flocci.in/for/customer-support/)
- Recruiters — Twenty near-identical LinkedIn tabs is the worst case Chrome’s tab strip has — titles truncate to the same six characters. (https://tabs.flocci.in/for/recruiters/)
- Traders and analysts — Long-lived dashboards get lost among short-lived research tabs, and merging windows by hand risks closing the wrong thing. (https://tabs.flocci.in/for/traders-and-analysts/)

## Frequently asked questions
**Q: What is Flocci Tabs?**
A: 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.

**Q: Is Flocci Tabs free?**
A: 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.

**Q: Do I need an OpenAI or Gemini API key?**
A: 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.

**Q: Does Flocci Tabs work with Chrome’s built-in tab groups?**
A: 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.

**Q: Can I save a tab group and open it again later?**
A: 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.

**Q: Which browsers does Flocci Tabs support?**
A: 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.

**Q: What data does Flocci Tabs send anywhere?**
A: 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.

**Q: How many tabs can AI grouping handle at once?**
A: 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.

**Q: How is Flocci Tabs different from OneTab or Toby?**
A: 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.

**Q: Does Flocci Tabs reduce Chrome’s memory usage?**
A: 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.

**Q: Do I need a separate account for Flocci Tabs?**
A: 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.

**Q: Who makes Flocci Tabs?**
A: 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.

## Privacy summary
Automatic colour-grouping is entirely local and transmits nothing. AI actions send only tab titles
and domains, only on explicit user action, only to https://api.tabs.flocci.in. Snapshot saves additionally
include the group structure and URLs the user chose to save. Page contents, form data, passwords and
browsing history are never transmitted. There is no analytics SDK and no advertising pixel, and the
manifest declares exactly one host permission.
