What Tabs Outliner is
Tabs Outliner is a browser extension that serves as a notebook and session manager, organizing tabs in a tree linked to the active browsing session. Users can group, nest, and reorder tabs, windows, and saved links by drag and drop, then attach notes, comments, and to-do lists or add text snippets from web pages. After a browser crash, users can choose which tabs to reopen while other saved items remain offline. Window hierarchies can be exported as plain text outlines or interactive HTML files. The maker says basic use requires no account, extension data stays local, and browsing history is not tracked on its servers. Pro adds keyboard shortcuts, clipboard support, frequent local backups, and automatic daily Google Drive backups; the FAQ says those backups are held in the user's own account. Multiple monitors are supported. The Free Edition costs nothing and has no limits; Pro costs $15, paid once. The Chrome Web Store listing shows version 1.4.168, updated July 23, 2026, and 100,000 users.
