Laptop running smoothly

Student tab chaos? We get it.

Juggling multiple classes, research papers, and group projects means dozens of tabs. Your browser wasn't designed for this.

Tabs for 5 Classes, All Mixed Together

Biology readings, history lectures, math homework, coding assignments, and English essays — all open at once. Which tab belongs to which class?

Research Paper = 30+ Open Tabs

Started researching your essay topic. Now you have 30 tabs open across Wikipedia, journal articles, library databases, and source citations. Closing any feels risky.

Lost Your Study Session After a Crash

Spent 2 hours collecting study materials. Safari crashed or your laptop died. All those carefully gathered resources? Gone.

Group Project Tabs Everywhere

Google Docs, shared drives, research sources, communication channels, and deadline trackers all scattered across your browser. Good luck finding anything.

Your Laptop is Slow Enough Already

School-issued laptop or older MacBook already runs slowly. Add 50 tabs and it becomes unusable. But you need all those tabs for your work.

Switching Subjects Means Mental Chaos

Finish studying biology, now time for history. Close 20 tabs, open 20 new ones. Tomorrow you'll need those biology tabs again.

Student workflows with TabControl

Organize tabs around your actual school work. Courses, essays, study sessions, and group projects — all managed effortlessly.

Course Sessions

Create one session per class. All lecture notes, readings, assignments, and resources for that course in one place. Switch between courses with one click.

Example:

Session: 'BIOL 101' — Lecture slides, textbook chapters, assignment portal, study guides

Research & Writing

Save all sources for your essay or research paper. Continue research across multiple days without losing any tabs. Never lose that perfect source again.

Example:

Session: 'History Essay - Civil Rights' — 24 sources, outline doc, assignment rubric, citation generator

Study Sessions

Open all study materials for an upcoming exam. Save the session to continue studying tomorrow. Suspend background tabs to focus.

Example:

Session: 'Midterm Prep - Chemistry' — Practice problems, lecture notes, YouTube tutorials, formula sheets

Group Projects

Keep all group project tabs organized separately. Shared docs, research, deadlines, team communication — all in one session.

Example:

Session: 'CS Group Project' — GitHub repo, Google Doc, Slack workspace, project requirements, reference materials
