Other tab managers remember your tabs.
TabDocket remembers what you were doing.
Group your open tabs into tasks, close them without losing anything, and bring a whole job back in one click.

The problem
Forty tabs across five unrelated things, and no idea what you were doing in any of them.
You can't close them, because you'd lose the thread. You can't use them, because you can't read the titles. So the window keeps growing and every one of those five jobs gets a little harder to pick back up.
Bookmarks don't fix it — a bookmark saves an address, not a state of mind. What you need saved is the task: these tabs, in this order, for this reason, with the note about where you stopped.
How it works
Three steps, and then it's just how you work.
- 01
Sort your open tabs into tasks
Drag the twelve tabs that belong to one job into a task and name it. Two minutes, once.
- 02
Close them — they're saved
The window goes quiet. Nothing is lost: every URL stays, in order, with its notes attached.
- 03
Click a task to bring its tabs back
One click restores the whole set exactly as you left it, so you resume instead of reconstructing.
What's in it
Sort
Sort the tabs you already have into tasks
Start from the mess. TabDocket lists every open tab and you drag them into tasks — twelve for the tax return, six for the API migration. Duplicates get flagged as you go.

Buckets
Buckets inside a task, for the stages of a job
One task, several piles: research, drafts, references, things to read later. Restore the whole task or just the bucket you need right now.

Notes
Write down where you stopped
Every task has a note. Type it, or dictate it while you're still holding the thought — the reason a set of tabs exists is usually the part you forget first.

Focus
One task on screen, everything else parked
Focus mode stores and closes every tab that isn't part of the task you picked. Leave focus mode and your other tabs come back untouched.

Always-open
The tabs that should never close
Mail, calendar, music, the internal dashboard. Mark them always-open and they survive every task switch and every cleanup.

Projects
Separate work from everything else
Projects hold groups of tasks. Client work in one, side project in another, life admin in a third. Switch and the sidebar changes with you.

Backup
Nothing disappears by accident
Deleted tasks land in trash, and automatic local backups mean a bad click, a crash, or a profile reset never costs you a week of context. Export to a file any time, on any plan.

Sync
The same tasks on your other machine
Pro adds sync across devices. A task you saved on the laptop is there when you sit down at the desktop, notes and all.

AI agents
Let an agent do the research and leave the tabs in the right task.
Pro gives you a scoped API key. Hand it to Claude, a Custom GPT, or your own script, and it can read what you're working on, open a task, and file the pages and notes it found — so you come back to a sorted pile of work instead of a chat log you have to mine.
It can read and add
List your tasks, create a task, attach tabs, write a note about what it found.
It can never delete
No delete endpoint, no delete scope, no trash access, no sync access. Removing things stays yours.
You see every call
Agent-created rows are labelled, the last 50 requests are listed on your account, and one click revokes a key.

Your data stays yours
The free version stores everything on your computer and never talks to a server.
No account, no upload
Install it and use it. Free TabDocket has nothing to sign into, because there's nowhere for your tabs to go.
Sync is opt-in, and only sync
If you want your tasks on two machines, you turn on sync and we store a copy. That's the only time your data leaves the device.
Export any time, any plan
One button writes everything to a file you keep. No lock-in, no export tier.
Questions about agents
The API, in plain terms.
Close the tabs. Keep the work.
Free forever, no account needed. Pro adds sync, backup across devices, and agent access.
