Archive and sort open Chrome tabs by topic
A local tool archives open Chrome tabs into static pages, with a coding agent handling the topic sorting after checking setup and running a demo on fake tabs first. ·

- What they did
- The tool reads open Chrome tabs into a local archive and builds five static pages: action desk, reading room, full archive, graph, and a search page. Topic sorting is handed to a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) via one pasted README message. The agent checks setup, runs a demo on fake tabs, and asks before touching real ones.
- How it went
- The author presents it as working today, with no server or account and no runtime dependencies. It supports only macOS and Chrome, and the Chrome extension is paused over distribution hurdles.
- Worth knowing
- If an agent does the sorting, your tab titles and URLs go to that agent's model provider; sorting by hand avoids this.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Build me a local tool that archives my open Chrome tabs as static pages and sorts them into folders by topic. First check my setup and tell me what is missing, then run a demo on fake tabs so I can see the output. Only run it on my real tabs after I confirm, and finish by showing me the topic folders and a summary of what went into each.
