I had 200+ tabs open and couldn't find anything. Almanac's auto-grouping and search changed that overnight.

Finally a tab manager that doesn't want my email, my data, or my credit card. Just works.

The archive feature is a game changer. I close tabs guilt-free now because I know I can always find them.

FAQ.

Is Almanac really free? +
Yes, completely free. No premium tier, no trial period, no hidden costs. Every feature is included.
Does Almanac collect my browsing data? +
No. Everything is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage APIs. No data is sent to any server. See our Privacy Policy.
What browsers does it work on? +
Any Chromium-based browser: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera, and more.
How does iCloud Sync work? +
Install the free Almanac Sync Helper companion app on your Mac. It bridges the extension with your iCloud Drive folder — no account, no cloud server. Your tabs sync between Macs automatically through your own iCloud.
Can I use it on Windows or Linux? +
Yes! The extension works on all platforms. iCloud Sync is Mac-only since it relies on iCloud Drive, but everything else works everywhere.
Will it slow down my browser? +
No. Almanac is lightweight and only runs when the side panel is open. It doesn't inject scripts into web pages or run background processes.
How is it different from Chrome's tab groups? +
Chrome's tab groups are manual and temporary. Almanac auto-groups by category, lets you archive and restore, provides search across everything, and syncs across devices.
