About

Archive your open tabs to Markdown and clear your browser in one click.

Features

• Tab counter: see how many tabs you have open, broken down by category
• Platform grouping — tabs are automatically organized into: YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, Instagram, Hacker News, Email, Search, AI Chats, Articles, and Other
• Readable titles — every link is saved with its actual page title, not a raw URL
• One-click export — downloads a .md file instantly
• Optional tab cleanup — tick a checkbox to close all tabs after exporting

What You Get

A clean Markdown file with every tab saved as [Title](URL), grouped by platform:

## YouTube

- [Why Rust is taking over systems programming](https://youtube.com/...)

## Reddit

- [Ask HN: How do you manage tab overload?](https://reddit.com/...)

## Articles

- [The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Just Shipping](https://...)

The file is named with your browser, OS, and a timestamp, e.g. tabs-chrome-windows-2025-06-01-14-30.md.

Installation

From a Release

1. Download the ZIP for your browser from the Releases page
2. Extract the ZIP

From Source

Prerequisites: Node.js and pnpm

git clone https://github.com/yamanidev/detab.git
cd detab
pnpm install
pnpm build          # Chromium-based
pnpm build:firefox  # Firefox

Loading the extension

Chromium-based:

1. Visit chrome://extensions
2. Enable Developer Mode
3. Click Load Unpacked and select the extracted folder (or dist/chrome/ if built from source)

Firefox:

1. Visit about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
2. Click Load Temporary Add-on
3. Select manifest.json inside the extracted folder (or dist/firefox/ if built from source)

Development

pnpm watch          # Chrome — rebuilds on file changes
pnpm watch:firefox  # Firefox — rebuilds on file changes

Releasing

Bump the version with pnpm — this automatically syncs manifest.json and manifest.firefox.json:

pnpm version patch   # or `minor`/`major`
git push --follow-tags

Pushing a version tag triggers the GitHub Actions release workflow, which builds both extensions and publishes a GitHub Release with both ZIPs attached.
