Selected capture
Capture should happen at the moment you still remember why the tabs matter.
Source stack workflow
Turn messy research tabs into clean AI-ready source stacks.
A source stack is a saved, reviewed set of selected browser tabs. It keeps the links visible so you can restore the work, copy links, export Markdown, or prepare a cleaner source list for AI.
Short answer
Open tabs are unfinished context.
TabOnion helps you capture only the tabs that belong to one task, close the visual clutter, review the saved source list, and reuse it later through restore, copy, Markdown export, or an explicit AI workflow.
The source-stack loop
- Choose the tabs that belong to one task, question, project, bug, or draft.
- Save them as a local-first source stack before closing the browser clutter.
- Review the stack and remove duplicate, unrelated, or low-value pages.
- Restore selected tabs, copy links, or export Markdown when the work returns.
- Use the reviewed source list in notes, docs, specs, tickets, or AI prompts.
Interface close-ups
Restore and copy
Saved stacks are reusable work states, not permanent bookmarks for every page.
Reviewed source set
AI-ready context starts with visible sources and user review, not automatic upload.
What TabOnion captures by default
Basic capture is about selected tab titles and URLs. Page-body extraction, Markdown layers, and AI handoff should be explicit actions when the user wants them.
How it differs from bookmarks
Bookmarks are long-term references. Source stacks are active work states: temporary, named, restorable, and useful for handoff into writing, support, research, or AI workflows.
How it differs from a raw tab list
A flat list answers “what was open?” A reviewed source stack answers “what evidence belongs to this task, and what can I safely do next?”
Common questions
What is a source stack?
A source stack is a saved set of selected browser tab titles and URLs organized around one task, question, project, or decision.
Does TabOnion save cookies or login sessions?
No. TabOnion should not transfer cookies, passwords, authentication sessions, form input values, or third-party session tokens.
Does TabOnion send source stacks to AI automatically?
No. AI and Markdown export are explicit user actions. The source stack gives you a cleaner starting point.
