The Take

Optional new-tab override is the clearest smart move: it lets OrgaNice coexist with whatever new-tab UI you already prefer instead of forcing a replacement. The product pairs sensible local-first defaults (unlimited nested folders, JSON import/export, side-panel vertical tabs) with a paid cloud sync/recovery option — useful features, but sync security and long-term reliability will be the make-or-break for people trusting it across devices.

Target Audience

Power users and knowledge workers who manage large numbers of browser tabs and want fine-grained, local-first organization

Post Description

Hi HN,

I built OrgaNice after running into limitations with existing tab managers, especially forced new tab overrides, feature limits, and workflows that didn’t scale well with large numbers of tabs.

Here’s what it currently offers:

Unlimited nested folders, collections, and workspaces

Session history

Vertical tabs via the side panel

Optional new tab override (you can enable or disable it)

JSON export and import

Import from your browser bookmarks

I’m actively improving it and would really appreciate feedback.

Thanks

Raft – Open-source tab manager because extensions have trust issues

This is built around a clear trust promise: every core feature is local-first, the repo includes tests proving no network calls in save/restore paths, and cloud sync is an opt-in, client-side AES-256-GCM + PBKDF2 scheme using Drive app-data. It doesn't reinvent session managers, but the combination of audited/no-telemetry UX, group-preserving session captures, and a one-time E2EE sync purchase is a tidy, user-friendly take that privacy-minded people will actually install.
