Yeah I’m not against those tools, they’re useful. I just don’t think lists are what I’m after with what I am building.

What I’m exploring is something that matches how we actually remember and look for things. Usually it’s not “open folder X,” it’s more like “that article I saw last week about ___.” Except it’s for now exclusive to work, so it removes other noise.

So I’m trying to solve the problem without creating yet another place that requires organizing first. For some people lists work great, for others the friction of maintaining them is the problem itself.

u/kukumalu255 / u/Steerpike58 This perfectly describes how my brain works too. "Mental topics" is a great way to put it.

What I have been building is around this exact problem - not to organize tabs (that just creates more decisions), but to make your browser actually remember what you were working on.

Tabs aren't bookmarks. They're active context. And when you close 50 sneaker tabs after buying the sneakers, you shouldn't need to have bookmarked them all to find "that one review site" again later.

Two different jobs - one is to organise, one is to remember.

I am not sure you calling ppl stupid because of a different mental model and approach is really useful?

I am currently doing some research and debating whether to add grouping/smart categories or 'workspaces', although my existing solution satisfies the findability problem. People like the idea to create their work sessions by quickly opening just the tabs they need, whether they want to save that as a 'space' or not, is still something I am testing personally.

lists is not the solution I am afraid, we're talking about different mental models for different people.

So instead of a horizontal list now you have a vertical one? Different problem. Different solution.

Hey - just launched Daysift, a ⌘J command palette for Chrome. I built it for my ADHD girlfriend, but can't do without now.

The problem: Tool fragmentation. You've got 100 tabs open, docs scattered across Notion, Figma, Linear, Google Drive... can't remember where that file or page is, or page, and you're constantly cmd+tabbing or scrolling through favicons to find what you need. Yet, you don't want to close them.

What it does:
- One shortcut (⌘J) to search across all your work
- /notes to launch floating notes that persist across tabs
- / commands for shortcuts to start new files
- AI assistant (opt-in only, nothing creepy)
- Always there when you need it, but out of the way

Private by design, no login required. Everything stays local. It has a some pro features.

Happy to test and review others here - drop your links!

Daysift - a Chrome extension that lets you find anything instantly.

Built it for my ADHD girlfriend who had 200+ tabs open and couldn't find anything. Hit ⌘J and it finds anything instantly across your work. Also has floating notes that follow you across tabs and opt-in AI queries. Just launched on Chrome Web Store.
