Tabs you don’t need right now, but aren’t ready to let go of — GhostTAB captures them as “ghosts.” A lightweight Chrome extension that organizes your thoughts and declutters your browser, without losing what matters.
Hey PH!
I created GhostTAB because I was tired of drowning in open tabs – most of which I didn’t really need right now, but wasn’t ready to close. Bookmarks felt too permanent, and history was too chaotic.
GhostTAB is a middle path:
You can “ghost” tabs – they disappear from view, but stay recoverable in an organized, visual memory flow. From Ghost → Hollow → Tomb, tabs follow a lifecycle just like our thoughts do.
It’s not just a productivity tool, it’s a gentle design for forgetting well.
Would love your feedback – and hope GhostTAB helps you breathe easier while browsing!
If you’re curious about the backstory – why I made this, what I struggled with, and how AI helped shape the process –
I’ve written about it here on Medium:

This lightweight Chrome extension is perfect for saving those tabs you don’t need right now, but aren’t ready to close. It captures them as “ghosts,” keeping your browser decluttered while ensuring you don’t lose anything important. It’s a simple but brilliant way to organize your thoughts and boost productivity. Definitely a must-try for anyone looking to streamline their workflow! 👻✨

Thank you so much, Leon!
Your words honestly made my day.
This project is really close to my heart, and it means a lot to see someone not only “get” the concept, but express it so beautifully.
I also want to say thank you again for taking the time to come back and leave a thoughtful comment after trying it out.
That means more than you know — it really gave me the strength to keep going. 👻
