A Revolutionary Tab Manager on Your New Tab Page

From CS researchers at Carnegie Mellon, Skeema is a human-centered way to manage your tabs that helps declutter your browser and your mind. Based on new research uncovering the deep causes of tab overload, Skeema changes the way you interact with the web resulting in what users call "an efficiency dream" and an "expansion card for your unstructured mind".

We built Skeema to overcome the three main problems that cause tab overload, including:
REMINDING & RESUMPTION. You're constantly switching between unfinished tasks all day, leaving tabs open so you don't lose where you left off.
REFINDING. You leave docs and links open to avoid digging through emails or Slack or drives to find them again.
RESURFACING. You leave articles and papers open in tabs to read because you don't have time to read them right now but if you put them away you may forget and never get back to them.

Skeema fixes these problems that current approaches like bookmarks, to-do lists, tab groups, and tab managers fail to do. Our users report saving 30-45 minutes a day on average.

I would highly recommend. Very useful than other similars for academics.
I would request following options:
1. highlight text and automatically save to project
2. highlight text and clip
3. when opening new tab go to last open project, not to home
Thanks for your effort

So simple but works so well to get to inbox-zero with all of your open tabs

I love skeema. It really fits in to my workflow beautifully and makes what used to be bookmarking a much richer experience for researching and collecting information that may later need to be used. It is super intuitive and a great extension.

I just started to use it, how come there are no reviews? Woooooow this is awesome! There are only paywalled, or dumb addons for this... Nice try university!!! But I can already think about couple things to improve, but it has so much potential!!!

It is better to create sub-groups of tabs from a tab directly, so you know why you opened a group of some tabs in the first place! I would include infinite nesting from a single tab, so under a tab there can be a group of tabs and from any tab there - another group of tabs and so on, on each level of nesting. Same with as with tab groups and it would allow directly to create sub-group of nested tabs from a tab infinitely!

Also it would be faster to navigate if there would be a side bar e.g. on the left of screen, which could be brought up either by a hotkey, or by touching edge of the screen (there could be a delay so it doesn't annoy during browsing)! This I would use to navigate through immediate working set of tabs: I have just opened from main Skeema window. And I would use full window for organizing main categories and saving tabs for long-term into folder like structure and I would allow to give tags to tab groups, so you can find them later!

So for instance how would that work - lets say you open from the main Skeema window main category "cars" and it would open in like 20 windows in Chrome, in each you would have parts like engine, motor, wheels. If you switched to some window, in side bar you could navigate smaller tab groups. It would have to have feature to collapse all nested tabs, so there isn't a huge list which is preventing you from navigating through tabs! Also there would be switch to remember, if user wants to keep uncollapsed trees of tabs upon expanding them! Also make trees at each level of nesting: put needle there, so user can pin each level, so it will stay uncollapsed even generally you want everything collapsed! So even if you collapse highest level of nesting, that is whole tree of all tabs and their sub-groups. If you expand it again, it would remember level of uncollapsed tabs and should uncollapsed everything that is marked so...

Also in main window of Chrome (not sure if this can be done) each time you click on some tab, it will show tabs in current view only at that level of nesting! But you could also pin tabs to the second line like Vivaldi has, in case you want to compare multiple tabs from multiple groups. Or tabs which you put into category main there: would stay pinned in second line of tabs, so you can access them in relation to other tabs!

I Am a Philosopher I have 1000+ tabs easily, I peaked at 3000 tabs and that is yet nothing... I need to have open a lots of windows! Think about adding a feature to navigate between opened chrome windows, where you can organize them also and add cltr+f so you can search for open Chrome windows.

Additional tips:
- main window could be accessible by a hotkey same as tab saver
- add text highlighter on webpages (multiple colors)
- add ability to add notes directly to a websites (it could be hidden/unhidden by a hotkey)
- show lists of all sites which has notes/highlights somewhere
- hotkeys for everything (or even voice navigation), I want to be able to save pages ASAP
- add maybe auto-close for tabs, but they would have to be visible/just hidden somewhere so you can add them back just in case (not sure how to implement this from head)
- there is small pesky delay when loading tab saver
- also tab cycling with preview not limited to like 6 only would be nice at least 10-20 better unlimited
- if you are bored, allow individual tabs to be linked to other tabs (e.g. you are researching imagine in the way you draw diagram you could link tabs together) or something like that...

If you want feedback you can contact me on email, I could give you best tips I have ADHD :D

BTW will this be free upon release right, certainly no subscription, one time payment pays itself in like a year/or two of subscription...

Je multiplie les projets dans Skeema. Selon les projets je crée des 'to do list', j'ajoute les sites utiles, des extraits de pages web, tout est rangé et sauvegardé. Avec la synchronisation sur d'autres machines je peux tout retrouver facilement. Ce qui me manque est de pouvoir utiliser le widget de capture d'écran sur des fichiers en local ouverts sur navigateur. Continuez comme ça!
