Safari tab management all in one place
Coming SoonRequires macOS Sonoma 14 or later
You have tabs coming out of your ears. Local windows, tab groups, mobile devices. Safari spreads them across menus and sidebars, but there’s no single place to see and manage them all.
Tabulator presents all your tabs as multiple columns. You can prune your current tabs, search across all sources, sort them, show favicons, tag with Finder colours, and export as bookmarks. With Safari closed, you can unlock full editing and reordering of all local tabs. Full undo/redo means you can experiment freely.
