Nothing moves until you’ve seen it. Sort shows you where every tab will go before it does anything, and you can undo it.
A tab manager for Chrome
Sort a hundred tabs in one pass.
TrayMaker goes through every tab in every Chrome window and files them into trays. Check the list, approve it, and you’re done. File away the trays you’re not using right now, and open them again when you need them. Nothing gets lost.
Free for 30 days, Pro included
Sound familiar
You’re not done with them yet.
You have several windows open with a ridiculous number of tabs in each. Most of them are things you meant to come back to. Closing one feels like throwing it away, so you leave it open.
Organizing takes so long that you never get around to it. You’ve tried bookmarking them, but once they go into a folder you never look at them again.
So the tabs stay open, Chrome gets slower, and finding the one you want means squinting at a row of tiny icons.
Why you can trust it
Made by fellow tab hoarders.
We keep too many tabs open too. TrayMaker was built to declutter desktops with ease without ever losing what took hours of time to find.
Closing a window doesn’t throw anything away. Its tabs go back into their tray.
Your trays are backed up to your Chrome bookmarks automatically, with one copy for each of the last seven days. If TrayMaker ever stopped working, your tabs would still be in an ordinary bookmarks folder.
Your tabs stay on your computer. TrayMaker doesn’t send them anywhere, unless you choose to connect your own AI account.
How it works
What the first five minutes look like.
Add TrayMaker, open its panel and press Sort. It goes through every tab in every window and makes a list of suggestions:
01
Duplicates
If the same page is open more than once, it keeps one and closes the rest.
02
Same website
Three or more loose tabs from one site go into a new tray named after that site. If a tray already holds tabs from that site, they go there.
03
Tabs you’ve stopped using
Anything you haven’t looked at in three days gets filed into its tray, or into Read Later. You can change the number of days.
Nothing happens until you’ve checked the list. Approve the rows you want, skip the ones you don’t, and undo the whole thing if you change your mind.
Optional
Turn on AI sorting. It’s off by default. When it’s on, TrayMaker groups tabs by what they’re about, not by which website they’re on, so a recipe, a hotel booking and a train timetable can all land in one “Lisbon Trip” tray. It uses the AI model built into Chrome and runs on your computer, so your tabs never leave it.
Pro
Pro adds three things.
Type what you want done. “Put away everything older than a week.” “Move the Figma tabs to Acme.” “Group these by client.” TrayMaker shows you what it’s about to do, and you approve it like any other Sort.
Rest a tray. Its tabs stay in the tab bar but stop using memory until you click one. Use it for the trays you want to keep close without slowing Chrome down.
AI on any computer. If your computer can’t run Chrome’s built-in AI, connect your own account from an AI company such as Anthropic or OpenAI. You pay them directly, usually a few cents per sort. Only tab titles and addresses are sent, and only when you turn this on.
File away the trays you don’t need today. You’re left with only the tabs for what you’re doing now, and the rest are one click away.
