Tabme Guide & FAQ

Add Tabme from the Chrome Web Store. It replaces your new tab page with your bookmark board.

Prefer to keep Chrome's default new tab? Install Tabme Mini instead — same features, but it opens only when you click the toolbar icon.

Drag any tab from the Open Tabs list on the left and drop it into a folder on the right. You can also drag an entire tab group to save all its tabs at once. Drop onto New Folder to create a folder on the fly.

Click the Tabme icon in your Chrome toolbar, pick a space and folder, and the current page is saved instantly — much like Chrome's ⭐ button. This is the fastest way to save while browsing.

Finishing a research session? Click the Stash button at the top of the Open Tabs panel to save every open tab into one new folder and clear your window.

When you drag a tab from the Open Tabs sidebar into a folder, an X button appears on the saved item. Click it to close that tab immediately — handy for clearing tabs as you file them away.

Click a bookmark to open it. Hold Cmd / Ctrl and click to open it in a new tab.

Want bookmarks to open in the same tab by default? Turn on Open bookmarks in same tab in Settings.

Create folders and drag them by their title bar to rearrange your board. Right-click a folder to rename it or assign a color so categories are easy to spot at a glance.

Right-click a bookmark and choose Group to bundle related bookmarks together within a folder. Groups can be collapsed to save space, and Ungroup splits them back out.

Spaces are separate boards — for example Work, Personal, and Reading. Drag folders, bookmarks, or groups from one space to another to move them. Free plan includes 1 space; Pro unlocks unlimited spaces.

Double-click an empty area on your board to add a sticky note. Use notes for reminders or to label a group of bookmarks (e.g. "Read before Friday"). Notes save automatically.

Want your tabs available on every page (like Arc's sidebar)? Right-click the Tabme icon and choose Open side panel, or assign a hotkey in the Tabme help menu. The side panel is actively being expanded to include saved tabs and drag-to-save.

Open a bookmark's menu, type a tag in the Tags field, and press Enter. To find tagged bookmarks, type # and the tag in search (e.g. #work).

Rename or delete tags everywhere at once from Settings → Edit tags. The Free plan includes a few tags; unlimited tags are a Pro feature.

The search bar at the top matches the title and URL of your open tabs, saved bookmarks, and recently closed tabs. Just press Tab when Tabme opens to jump straight into the search field. Toggle Show all bookmarks to also see matches hidden inside collapsed folders and groups.

A broom icon with a number at the top of Open Tabs means you have duplicate open tabs — click it to close the extras.

To clean up saved duplicates, click the Help (?) icon → Remove duplicated bookmarks. Tabme highlights same-URL bookmarks in the current space and asks you to confirm before removing them (one copy per URL is kept).

Use Show unused items in Settings to highlight bookmarks you haven't opened in 60 days, so you can delete what you no longer need. Collapsing folders and groups also keeps large boards fast.

Hold Shift and click bookmarks or tabs to select several at once, then drag them together into another folder or space.

In Settings → Import, choose Chrome bookmarks or import a supported file: HTML, CSV, TXT, or a Tabme backup JSON file.

Switching from another extension? See our migration guides.

Go to Settings → Export & Backups. There are two options:

• Export to file — a complete backup of everything (spaces, folders, groups, notes, and tags) as a JSON file. Use this for a full backup.
• Export to HTML — a standard bookmarks file for importing into another browser.

Signed-in Pro users can open gettabme.com/app in any browser to view, search, and open their saved bookmarks and switch spaces. Great for a work computer or a device without the extension.

Open gettabme.com/app in your mobile browser and sign in (Pro). For an app-like experience, add it to your home screen:

• iPhone (Safari): Share → Add to Home Screen.
• Android (Chrome): Menu (⋮) → Add to Home screen.

The web app is a view-and-open experience, so some layout controls from the full extension aren't shown on small screens. If your folders look hidden, try rotating to landscape or use the space switcher to navigate.
