01 // RADIAL NAVIGATION
Point at the tab.
Go to the tab.
Open tabs become large visual wedges with favicons and labels instead of a row of tiny, nearly identical browser tabs.
Chrome extension // tab wrangling
TabPie.
TabPie turns a crowded Chrome window into a radial menu you can actually navigate. Tabs become slices, groups expand outward, and the tab strip can finally stop pretending it has everything under control.
Alt + Q
default shortcut // Windows + Linux
01 // Why this exists
Tab chaos.
Now served by the slice.
Because tabs shouldn't require archaeology. The goal is simple: keep the speed of a shortcut while making a giant browser session visually understandable.
Instead of squeezing every open page into an increasingly microscopic strip, TabPie gives the current window a spatial layout with large targets, recognizable favicons, tab-group structure, and a quick way back to where you just were.
Point at the tab.
02 // TAB GROUPS
Groups get
their own orbit.
Keep a group compact as one main wedge. Expand it only when needed and its tabs fan outward into a proportional outer ring.
03 // PREVIOUS TAB
Center =
go back.
The return control lives in the center of the wheel, because bouncing back to the previous tab should not require a scavenger hunt.
02 // In the wild
One wheel.
A suspicious amount of browser control.
TabPie stays out of the way until summoned, then gives you a fast visual map of the current window.
MODE: SPATIAL
TAB STRIP PANIC: REDUCED
Peek before you leap.
Hover over tabs and groups to get a clearer preview before switching. Useful when every page is named “Dashboard.”
More tabs. Same-size targets.
More / Back paging and mouse-wheel navigation keep the wheel readable instead of shrinking each wedge into pizza-flavored confetti.
03 // How the chaos works
Five moves.
Zero tab archaeology.
Summon it, read the window spatially, expand what matters, move fast, and dismiss it the second you're done.
Summon the pie.
Click the toolbar icon or use Alt+Q. The current window appears as a centered radial interface.
Read it visually.
Favicons, labels, active-state highlighting, and tab-group wedges give the session a spatial layout.
Expand what matters.
Open a group and its member tabs extend into an outer arc without squeezing the main wheel.
Move fast.
Click to switch, wheel through pages, use More / Back when sessions get ridiculous, or hit the center return control.
Dismiss it instantly.
Press Escape or click empty space outside the wheel. No modal hostage situation required.
04 // Privacy, the short version
The number of people tracking your tabs should be...
0
ideal number of creepy observers
TabPie needs tab information to draw your navigation wheel. It does not need to turn your browsing session into an analytics project.
Tab titles, URLs, favicons, active state, and group information are used locally in the browser to render and operate the TabPie interface. The extension is designed without analytics, ads, behavioral tracking, profiling, or remote executable code.
LOCAL
Your tab data stays local.
Browsing information is processed in the browser rather than sent to a remote analytics service.
NO THANKS
No ads. No profiling.
No behavioral tracking, advertising system, or sale of user browsing data is built into TabPie.
MANIFEST V3
No remote executable code.
The extension's executable logic is packaged with the extension instead of being downloaded at runtime.

05 // A very serious productivity philosophy
37 open tabs isn't a problem.
It's a lifestyle.
TabPie isn't here to judge how many tabs you have open. It's here to make the situation navigable enough that you can continue avoiding the obvious solution.
