Notes on the latest Tabstract features and changes.
I skipped v1.9 because there is so much packed into this update, it felt wrong to call it anything less than 2.0. Here's everything we're releasing in Tabstract v2:
With Apple Intelligence, Tabstract can automatically name your tab groups based on what's in them, and even organize tabs into categories. Click the sparkle (✨) to regenerate a new title for a tab group if you want to replace it. Everything happens on your Mac, it's completely private and your data stays on your device.
Open Tabstract when Safari starts, and auto-save and close all of your tabs for a clean slate every time you start browsing. Both optional, obviously.
Switching from OneTab, Tab Saver, or Tab Space? Tabstract now imports their files directly. Or paste any list of links—plain text, Markdown, whatever, directly into Tabstract and we will save them too.
Deleted stuff now goes to trash for 30 days before it's really gone. Restore anything from trash with one click, or empty trash to clean house.
You can now create "empty" tab groups to drag links into and organize them however you'd like. Easier and more reliable drag & drop too. Improvements to the group naming UX. Pretty good stuff.
New users get a welcome screen instead of...nothing, plus some sample tabs to mess around with. We also redid the help page so it's not terrible.
Redesigned the whole settings page. It's cleaner, makes more sense, and you can now import/export your Tabstract config for back up or sharing between Macs.
English, Spanish, French (🇫🇷 🇨🇦), German, Italian, Portuguese (🇵🇹 🇧🇷), Japanese, Korean, Russian, Swedish, Dutch, Chinese, and Arabic. Every new feature is translated.
Smoother animations, even better dark mode, more reliable across the board, improved keyboard shortcuts, and a bunch of visual tweaks you probably won't notice but we're proud of anyway.
Tabstract v1.8 adds lightning-fast search capabilities! Use the search box to easily find your tabs across all of your saved groups (press "/" to do it without leaving the keyboard!)
We've also added a few new interface refinements to keep things looking fresh 💅
Tabstract v1.7 adds "Copy to Clipboard" (in plaintext/tsv format) to the Export menu. Export file names are also now more descriptive and datestamped.
Tabstract v1.6 required a significant refactor to properly implement Dark Mode, and left behind a few bugs impacting buttons and hover states. Tabstract v1.6.1 fixes those bugs.
Tabstract v1.6 overhauls our previously half-baked Dark Mode into a first-class experience, including new settings. Snooze: you can now unsnooze directly from the toolbar. Various bugs fixed too.
New (left) vs. Old (right).
Tabstract v1.5 introduces the ability to collapse groups for better storage, and easier organizing via drag-and-drop. Shift-click to open/close all groups at once. We have also introduced a new Tips page with more information on hidden features, and a refreshed and more polished design.
