The tab hoard
Close your 400 tabs without losing anything
Every open tab is a promise: I will come back to this. You will not — but you cannot close it either, because closing it feels like losing it. The tabs are not the problem. Having no trustworthy place to put them is.
The ways people try — and where each breaks
-
Tab groups
Organizing the pile is not the same as shrinking it. The tabs are still open, still weighing on you — now they are just open in categories.
-
Bookmarking everything
The bookmarks folder is where links go to be safe and never seen again. No titles you remember, no search you actually use, and adding to it somehow feels like filing taxes.
-
Safari's Reading List
Close enough to bookmarks to have the same fate. It captures fine, but nothing about it helps you find one specific thing three weeks later — so nobody looks.
-
Just keeping them open
The tab bar as a to-do list of guilt. Every swipe past tab 300 is a tiny reminder of everything you meant to get back to, and the one you need is never the one you find.
A place you can trust with the keepers
Share the keepers. Close everything.
Go through the tabs once: anything worth keeping, share it to Hako and close it. Each one is saved with a title, a picture, and searchable text — so three weeks from now, one word you remember brings it straight back. That is what makes closing the rest feel safe instead of reckless.
From open tab to found-it-later
Share a tab to Hako, close it with confidence, then find it again by searching one word.
Not just tabs
One inbox for everything you almost lost.
The recipe tab becomes a recipe card with ingredients. The gift idea becomes a note search can find in December. And "remind me to actually read this on Saturday" becomes a real reminder — Hako parses it from plain English. Everything you would have left open, sorted instead.
Join the iPhone beta and give your oldest tab a better home.
Keep reading: stop texting yourself links, where to put your links now that Pocket is gone, or the note-to-self app that sorts itself.
Common questions
- Does it work with Safari and Chrome on iPhone?
- Yes. From any tab, tap share and send it to Hako — Safari, Chrome, or any app with a share sheet. You can also copy the link and paste it in.
- What does Hako keep from a tab?
- The link, a title, a picture, and a description — so the saved item looks like the thing it is, not a bare URL. All of it is searchable, so one word you remember brings it back.
- Do I have to save my tabs one at a time?
- Yes — share each tab you want to keep. Most people discover maybe a dozen of their hundreds of tabs are worth keeping, and closing the rest is the point.
- Is it free?
- It is free during the beta, and saving and search stay free.
